The call for facilitators for World Futures Day (WFD) 2026 is officially open!
World Futures Day is a unique 24-hour global conversation on possible futures, pioneered by The Millennium Project in 2014, two years after Humanity+ proposed the idea of a global Future Day. This innovative and participatory futures method is unlike any other: it enables futurists, researchers, innovators, and the general public to engage in an open, worldwide dialogue that moves across time zones — from New Zealand to Hawaii.
Over the years, World Futures Day has evolved collaboratively into an unparalleled space for discussion, foresight, and exploration of emerging futures. Each hour, a new conversation begins in a different part of the world, creating a continuous and truly global exchange of ideas.
March 1st, 2026, will mark the 13th anniversary of World Futures Day. The event is sponsored by The Millennium Project, in collaboration with leading international organizations including the Association of Professional Futurists, Humanity+, Lifeboat Foundation, World Academy of Art and Science, and the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF).
The event will officially launch at 12:00 noon in New Zealand and will continue hour by hour around the planet, concluding at 12:00 noon in Hawaii. Register to attend.
Facilitators play a crucial role in the success of World Futures Day. They guide conversations, foster inclusive participation, and help maintain the continuity and quality of dialogue across different time zones. Their contribution is essential to ensuring a smooth, engaging, and meaningful experience for participants worldwide.
If you would like to take part as a facilitator at 12:00 noon in your time zone (or in other time zones), you are invited to sign up by February 27, 2026. All sessions will be conducted in English.
To prepare for the event, facilitators are encouraged to watch the demonstration video for hosting a session and to carefully review the World Futures Day 2026 Guidelines for Facilitators. We will also share dates for training sessions hosted by The Millennium Project in the upcoming days.
Join us in shaping the global conversation about the futures we are creating!
