Each year, the Finland Futures Research Centre organises its annual conference, an invaluable opportunity for meeting, exchanging and debating current topics related in futures studies and foresight. With approximately 100-200 individual participants attending from all over the world, international researchers, organisational delegates, business people and students convene to the annual conferences in the spirit of futures-oriented information, research, analysis and collaboration.
Conferences are held in the three Finnish cities where the Centre's units are located: Turku, Tampere and Helsinki. More information about the upcoming as well as the previous conferences and seminars is available at
