Speculative Futures Austin is a component chapter of the global
Speculative Futures community. Speculative Futures is a community of
Meetup groups for those interested in Speculative Design, Critical
Design, Design Fiction, Discursive Design, Strategic Foresight,
Futures Studies, Science Fiction and any vision or approach which
involves using design as a vehicle to speculate about potential or
alternate futures. Speculative Futures is an effort steered by the
Design Futures Initiative. We host speakers — practitioners,
teachers, students, and other professionals who will be talking about
relevant praxis and methods. We also host workshops which will allow
you to learn how to conduct and apply futures thinking in a variety of
circumstances as a method of synthesis and strategy. The Design
Futures Initiative is a nonprofit 501c3 organization based in San
Francisco, CA. The Core Purpose of the Design Futures Initiative (DFI)
is to host Speculative Futures Meetups, organize the PRIMER US and EU
conferences, and further educational efforts to apply Futures Methods
to Design.
