The Strategizing Activities and Practices (SAP) Interest Group continues to foreground futures in its research agenda. Central to our discourse is the recognition that futures are not predetermined by fate; rather, they are shaped by the actions of individuals and organizations, underscoring agency in future-making.

In our ongoing commitment to fostering dialogues on these crucial topics, we invite you to join us for a stimulating Café event. This gathering aims to explore various dimensions of future-making, including the role of desirable futures, diverse ontological understandings of the future, and their profound impact on contemporary organizational landscapes. Topics will range from the application of AI in shaping future scenarios to broader considerations of socio-economic shifts.

We are excited to host this event at the Intelligentsia Coffee Millennium Park Coffeebar, conveniently located just a short walk from the Fairmont Chicago - Millennium Park Hotel.
