The ideas they found most interesting and thought-provoking were the concept of the Nomadic Society and the importance of ethnography as part of corporate foresight. The first international conference of futures groups was held in New York in April 2001. Organised by Pitney Bowes and Ericsson under the name of The State of the Art of Corporate Foresight, it served as a forum for senior corporate officers responsible for futures from 13 different companies and 3 foresight organisations. At the meeting, they examined common issues, approaches and concerns. The second meeting, to be held in London, is planned for November 2001.
Attendance is by invitation only.
