World Futures Day a Success!

On February 28, 2025, Envision Greater Green Bay hosted its fourth annual World Futures Day at the Oneida Hotel and Conference Center, bringing together over 425 attendees from business, government, education, and nonprofit sectors.


The event featured a keynote presentation by Jonathan Brill, a renowned futurist and innovation strategist, who provided insights on navigating uncertainty and shaping a preferred future.

A highlight of the day was the Four Futures Skit, a unique and engaging performance led by Envision Greater Green Bay’s board members and volunteers. This segment explored thought-provoking future scenarios through a mix of storytelling, music and live performance. See the transcript here and View the PowerPoint here.


World Futures Day 2025 continued to inspire and equip leaders with the tools to anticipate change, foster innovation, and build a stronger future for the Green Bay community.
