Members
The Association of Professional Futurists has over 200 individual and organizational members that include Arup, the Foresight Alliance, the House of Futures, the Institute for the Future, the Institute for Alternative Futures, Kairos Futures, and Leading Futurists LLC.
Annual member gatherings have been a key activity in the history of the APF. A preliminary gathering was the "Applied Futures Summit" in Seattle in April 2001 at which several founders agreed to move forward and formally established APF in 2002. The first meeting in Austin, TX was "The Future of Futures." It used a scenario planning approach to explore the next decade of the field. Each subsequent gathering has focused on a particular topic, such as Design Thinking in Pasadena CA or the Future of (Virtual) Reality in Las Vegas NV.
Members host a "future of" Twitterchat monthly where topics can be as diverse as the future of museums to the future of relationships.
