Six to eight times a year we will have symposiums addressing our 10 chosen topics. In addition, we will publish thought pieces on all of these topics on a regular basis. We aren’t about politics or present issues, but rather face the future at this critical time for humanity.
Sarasota Institute, founded 2017
We began in 2017 as on-line only, publishing regular thought pieces on the ten topics listed across the top of the web site.
We launched our in-person symposiums in January 2020 with great success.
Then the COVID-19 lockdown occurred. We moved to virtual presentations, along with the rest of the world. We changed our membership to on-line only and produced a number of webinars. In October 2021 we relaunched our in-person symposiums and programmed five symposiums with one having to be virtual due to the Omicron variant. Our last in person symposium was on March 27, 2022, when we produced “The Future of Marketing and Media”
The simple reality is that the pandemic and all its’ trailing impacts forced us to make the decision to return to on-line only. The timing of the virus laid us low as we had rapid growth just prior to the lock down, and now, more than two years later we have, for the time being, reverted to on-line only.
All of the symposiums and webinars we have produced are available behind the member login fire wall. We have reduced our global membership to $35 a year at this time to provide access to all our content from the symposiums and webinars.
We currently have more than a dozen podcasts that you can find by clicking on the Podcasts tab at the top of the page.
We will continue to publish thought pieces on our chosen ten topics.
Humanity is now living in perhaps the most disruptive decade of history. The 2020s are a transit from the reality of the past and the new reality in which we will be living in the 2030s. This time calls for big ideas, unprecedented actions and entirely new Planetary Systemic Design for our collective future.
As a 21st century think tank we only look forward to facing the future and what we might all collectively achieve
