A learning journey into forthcoming horizons of knowledge, Future Explorers (Fx) is a new “unconference” event series nurtured by the pioneering spirit of the Explorer and the intrinsic curiosity of visionary thinkers called Futurists.

Future Explorers brings together top notch visionaries from multiple regions of the planet, areas of expertise and industrial sectors. Fx is above all a community of deeply curious individuals who wish to continuously and progressively understand their surroundings and enhance their personal state of readiness to proactively improve the state of society in the future. They come from several countries and from a huge variety of backgrounds – some of those being very unexpected, as they tend to reflect combined areas of human knowledge necessary to brave the frontiers of what will become possible in the decades ahead. www.future-explorers.com
