Week of the Futures

Advancing Leadership through Futures-Readiness



Week of the Futures is a signature event series by the Foresight Lab at McMaster University - a hub for foresight and futures literacy in practice. It brings together diverse perspectives to explore emerging challenges and shape preferred futures. The series includes an Executive Masterclass on Foresight and Futures Literacy, the Agility in the 21st Century Conference, and our Strategic Foresight Certification Program (2026 cohort). Participants of the Executive Masterclass and Agility Conference are welcome to join us at the Opening Gala Dinner of the Certification Program, a unique experience themed Exploring Futures through Taste, Art and Imagination.

Join us to Shape the Future & Lead the Way together.
