WorldFuture 2010--Program

We're "back from the future" once again, bidding a fond farewell to
Boston, host of the World Future Society's conference, "WorldFuture
2010: Sustainable Futures, Strategies, and Technologies." As with any
great adventure, we came home with more than we brought with us: more
ideas, more contacts, and more energy for building the future.

There were more highlights than we could possibly summarize here, but
certainly the opening and closing addresses by Yale University
bioethicist Wendell Wallach and journalist Michael Rogers helped frame
the dialogues and debates that took place during the conference.
Inventor Ray Kurzweil and NASA scientist Dennis Bushnell both spoke to
packed audiences, and the luncheon speakers--oceanographer Susan Avery
and workplace consultant Karen Moloney--provided overviews of the
challenges we face in our physical and organizational landscapes.

Another highlight was the honoring of Theodore J. Gordon during the
closing session as recipient of the first Edward Cornish Award:
Futurist of the Year. Gordon was nominated for his work in 2009 with
the Millennium Project's Futures Research Methodology Version 3.0 and
State of the Future, yet his outstanding career truly merits
acclamation as a futures pioneer.
