Welcome back. Or welcome to an episode of How To Write The Future. I&#8217;m your host, Beth Barany. I am a writing teacher and award-winning novelist and podcaster. And movie producer. So today in this week&#8217;s episode, I&#8217;m going to share with you about some upcoming events in the foresight and future space coming up in the next few months and I&#8217;m going to talk about a bunch of things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And one thing that already happened, because I want to give this person a shout-out. Because it&#8217;s cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. So, I&#8217;m gonna leave that shout-out toward the end. Stay tuned. Today I&#8217;m going to talk about Institute for the Future, the Association of Professional Futurists, the School of International Futures, something the UN is doing later this year. And then I&#8217;m also going to talk about Amy Webb and her work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right, let&#8217;s get to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, and stay tuned to the end for a special gift for all of you science fiction and fantasy writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I created this podcast for science fiction and fantasy writers. I am one too. And also this podcast is for anyone who cares about the future. How to write the future is to really encourage the evolution of humanity. We need to exercise our imaginations so that we can create better futures for all of us because I believe that when we create and vision, what is possible and write those stories down, we actually help make it so. Our stories are so, so important. All right. On to the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first association or group that I want to share with you. And some of their upcoming events is Institute for the Future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Institute for the Future is the world&#8217;s leading futures organization. Their mission is to prepare the world to create better, more equitable futures by disrupting short-term thinking with visions of transformative possibilities. I&#8217;m going to highlight their podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of their podcast episodes. And also, one of their ongoing courses, as well as a free course that you can take. And I&#8217;m going to show these to you with some onscreen visuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. Highlighting Institute for the future dot org.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IFTF dot org. The future is wide open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have a podcast called Future Now. Here&#8217;s the main page. Podcast is called Future Now. They have a ton. I have, they have a lot of episodes. So not a ton. They have 12 episodes. I want to call out this one episode here. on how AI will shape work and creativity. I F T F emerging media lab director, Toshi Ho speaks with Jules Terpak a Gen Z content creator known for her work, unpacking technology and culture trends on platforms like TikTok, and YouTube. The conversation centers around the implications of recent breakthroughs in generative AI, particularly in how these advances may shape the future of work. And creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think that&#8217;s important for all of us who care about the future of work and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Institute for the Future also runs a class on Coursera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Ready set, future introduction to futures thinking.&#8221; It&#8217;s a free course. And you can join at any time. I believe you do have to pay if you want to get their certification. And I started their course, so you can get a little peek into it. Lots of great modules. Are you ready to learn how to think like a futurist? So I encourage you to do that. If you want to get their certification, then you need to pay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And lastly, the Institute for the Future has a Three Horizons of AI coming up that looks like they&#8217;re repeating this class a few times. So if you&#8217;re interested In getting training with AI chat, GPT, generative AI, then check out their class. They have a course starting February 13th, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next up, I want to share with you about the Association of Professional Futurists. They put out a quarterly magazine called Compass. I have an article in their December issue called AI and Futures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compass magazine represents the diverse voices of professional futurists from around the world. And Compass Magazine is a global voice of professional futurists. It&#8217;s a quarterly magazine, as I mentioned. Edited and designed by a voluntary team of association of professional futurist members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their intent is to share diverse voices of professional futurist from around the world and also to create opportunities for futurists at any stage in their career to share insights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, this is my, I believe my second article in their magazine. And, I wrote an article on how to plan a story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here&#8217;s my article. It&#8217;s on page 139. &#8220;Nine steps to plan and write your novel.&#8221; You can go to the Association for Professional Futurists website. I&#8217;ll have the link in the description below where you can go to the Compass page and check out the magazine. Here&#8217;s the latest issue. And then you can download it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s a little arrow here. Click download. You can download it right onto your hard drive. Lots of goodies in there. Enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, I want to highlight the School of International Futures. I did a week-long summer retreat training with them in a, I believe. Gosh, a year and a half ago in 2022. Pretty sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And they had run it every summer. So, you can join them for a week-long exploration of strategic foresight. And how to bring that into your organization, community, or sector. I really enjoyed my time with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a week-long retreat and England. It was so wonderful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you&#8217;re curious to learn more about their retreat, just go to their website. The link is in the show notes, and you can check out everything about their summer retreat. Tne dates for 2024 will be July 29th through August 2nd. I encourage you to check it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, I want to share with you something that really got me excited, and that is the Summit of the Future, sponsored by the United Nations. This is happening, the 22nd and 23rd of September, 2024. They call it &#8221; multilateral solutions for a better tomorrow. &#8221; The summit is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They say that this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity that serves as a moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively tackle. Current challenges as well as those that have emerged in recent years, or may yet be over the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you&#8217;re interested in learning more about the summit of the future, that the UN is putting on, go ahead and check out their website. un.org Okay, next up. I want to talk about a futurist. A quantitative futurist, Amy Webb. Every year she launches a tech trends report at the South by Southwest event in March. And this year&#8217;s no different. She&#8217;ll be releasing her 2024 tech trends report March 2024 at South by Southwest.

The dates for that are March 8th through 16th, 2024. This whole incredible event. it&#8217;s a convergence of tech, film and television, and the music industry. It has all kinds of things, including Amy Webb&#8217;s tech trends presentation, which she usually also broadcasts on YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I just want to call attention to. Amy Webb&#8217;s newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s called Future Today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or her her organization is called future today. Institute. And she just came out with her annual letter on 2024 macro themes and 2023 signals review, highly recommended. It is so meaty, so much amazing things in there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. One more thing. I promised you that one more thing. This is a shout-out to a fellow. Uh, cool person- if I may put myself in his camp. Joe Scott, he has a wonderful, channel on YouTube and he has a great video that he recently put out called &#8220;How different will life be in the year 2100?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I wanted to give him a shout-out because I really admire the work he does, the humor he brings to his work, and just his big heart. And then also I&#8217;m calling out this particular video because my fiction this next book I&#8217;m working on, that will be due out later in 2024 is, set in the year 2133.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;m always so fascinated to see other people&#8217;s visions of the future.
