Welcome to the Thinking Futurist Association! We are a global professional association of fresh thinkers and thinking futurists who aspire for and commit to making a significant difference in the way we think in the world.

A fresh thinker is always looking for new and better ways of doing things.

A thinking futurist imagines, projects and/or predicts what has not been realized. Futuristic thinkers can look past the events of today and into the possibilities of tomorrow. They can visualize new ideas about customers, products, services, strategies and business models.

The Thinking Futurist Association exists to inspire and equip leaders with 21st-century skills.

We look for champions and change agents to partner with us to craft solutions to the world’s most significant challenges. People like you!

In the Thinking Futurist Association, you can learn the tools you need to analyze new technologies and innovations and how they may or may not benefit society. In addition, you will be prepared and equipped to develop innovative strategies to link the needs and values of society to innovations to build exciting futures.
