columbusFUTURISTS is the local chapter of the World Future Society.  Our members are professionals from many area companies including Nationwide, AEP, The Ohio State University, as well as from local consulting firms. Columbus Futurists meet monthly as an "informal college," discussing and generating ideas about the future, especially in the realm of energy and the environment, education, technology and the future of Central Ohio. 

 

The World Future Society (www.wfs.org) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan scientific and educational association of people interested in how social and technological developments are shaping the future. The Society was founded in 1966 and is chartered as a nonprofit educational and scientific organization in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. The Society strives to serve as a neutral clearinghouse for ideas about the future. Ideas about the future include forecasts, recommendations, and alternative scenarios. These ideas help people to anticipate what may happen in the next 5, 10, or more years ahead. When people can visualize a better future, then they can begin to create it.
