APF is a global, generative, collaborative community of futurists. We exist to deepen and widen our professional expertise, to advance the field of foresight so that futures work is known and to create and serve a better future world.

Founded in 1966, the World Future Society is recognized as the largest, most influential, and longest-running community of futurists and future thinkers in the world. WFS members originally established the foundations of future thinking as we understand it today—through publications, global summits, and advisory roles to world leaders in business and government. Historical members and authors have included legendary minds such as Buckminster Fuller, Gene Roddenberry, and Margaret Mead. In 2018, World Future Society reconstituted itself to be ready for the next stage in our future. Under new management and now operating as “World Future Society Presents LLC d/b/a World Future Society,” a Delaware limited liability company, we will continue to offer our members the same community and passion as we have since 1966. Today, we are an ecosystem of futurists, visionaries, and builders charging forward with the belief that a thriving future for all of us requires us to strategize, construct, question, and collaborate. Everyone in our community—from curious college students to long-term practitioners—has an opportunity to bring their own voice and experiences to the table. Join us at WorldFuture.org to learn more!
