Speculative Futures Chapters

We're building a global community.

Each of our meetups have local leaders who curate and schedule events to showcase and highlight local Futures work and practice. 

 

Our Chapters

Our Speculative Futures Chapters are organized into four Global regions, North America (USA and Canada), Latin America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), and APAC (Asia-Pacific)

Each region is overseen by a Regional Director who works with chapter leaders in their region on programming and events. We also convene regular global community forums to bring all of our chapters together.
