Welcome to the Chicago Futures Salon

We explore multiple possible futures through creative methodologies, challenging assumptions about what tomorrow might bring. Our approach combines rigorous analysis with imaginative speculation.

Our salon brings together thought leaders, innovators, and creative thinkers to imagine and shape possible futures. We maintain an intimate setting to foster deep conversation and collaboration.

Drawing from Surrealism, Situationism, and Futurism, we employ games, scenarios, and provocations to unlock new perspectives. Our methods are designed to challenge conventional thinking.

While our methods are universal, our focus is local. We explore futures for Chicago and the Midwest, bringing global perspectives to regional challenges and opportunities.
