In 2016, we brought scientists, technologists, writers, policymakers and artists back from the bleeding edge to meet with 300 participants over two days. We had mind-expanding conversations about our future––and what to do about it in the present.
About the 2016 Summit
On December 6-7, the Future Today Institute and our host the 92nd Street Y convened top research scientists, technologists, ethicists, policy makers, authors, elected officials, academics and artists to take stock of where we are—and where we are going. We engaged them in provocative conversations about where we’re headed.
Over two unforgettable days, we ignited a global conversation—from our stage in NYC, to those watching our livestream in Austin, Johannesburg, Haifa, Dublin and beyond—about how our decisions today have the potential to change the course of history.
Who Attended the 2016 Summit
This was an opportunity to explore IBM Watson, to try out VR, to sample futuristic foods and to hear from world-renowned thinkers. Those who joined us believe that our future is not destined, but rather something that we build together.

We offered two options to attend the Summit:
- 1-day passes are $75 each, and are good for either Tuesday or Wednesday.
