Each year German and American thought leaders from academia, the public and private sectors convene to exchange perspectives, find collaborators and determine a collective path toward a progressive future. The first FUTURE FORUM was held in 2019 in Brooklyn on the topic of artificial intelligence. In 2020, the forum was held virtually focusing on cities and climate. In 2021, a hybrid FUTURE FORUM in Chicago centered on societies in transition and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the FUTURE FORUM took place in Manhattan and revolved around sustainable fashion. In 2023, the location was the same as in 2022, but the conference participants focused on resilience in its various forms.
