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
In the Spring of 2021 we received our confirmation from the IRS. We are now a 501(c)(3) and donations to TSI are tax deductible.
We began hosting live, in-person symposiums post-Covid in October 2021 and will continue through April 2022 and possibly a few throughout next summer. The TSI symposiums are held on the campus of the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota in their brand-new performing arts theater that seats 150 guests. In addition, we plan to have smaller events in the College’s brand new technology center, which includes a start-up incubator.
Every symposium or event the Institute presents will be filmed, edited and posted on our website for TSI members who were not able to attend or live outside Florida.
We have created new membership prices. One membership will be for local members who can attend our in-person events and one membership will be for on-line, virtual global members. Discounted tickets will be available for active students from local high schools and our regional higher education institutions.
White Papers will be published on the 10 topics that we think are of greatest significance for the future of humanity in the 21st century. Our focus is to provide unique solutions to these 10 big issues confronting humanity. See the list of topics at the top of our website.
There are currently eleven TSI podcasts available on this website. We anticipate the number of TSI podcasts will continue to increase throughout the year. Our podcasts are now available on all major podcast platforms for free downloading. (Apple podcasts, Spotify, Google podcasts, etc.)
The TSI website has recently been updated. Our goal is to create a user-friendly site and to provide additional benefits to all of our members.
What other 21st Century Think Tank could you become a member of that is purely focused on the big things facing humanity in the next few decades? That is not partisan; conservative or liberal? That is not beholden to corporations? That is focused purely on what is ahead in this historic decade?
What humanity does now in the 2020’s will set our trajectory through at least 2050 if not for the entire century.
Stay tuned!
Monthly in-person symposiums will be held on Sunday’s, starting in October 2021. Topics will get booked when we have the global thought leaders scheduled to participate. Sarasota Institute Local Members are invited to attend in person (Sarasota Institute Local Membership) and our Global Members will be able to view the recording of the Symposium after the event.
This event will have a seat capacity of 135 for Local Members and 15 seats for high school and college students.
Until further notice, for attendance at all TSI in-person symposiums it will be mandatory to provide proof of full vaccination PRIOR to the event you are registered for and have a ticket to enter.
Masks will be strongly encouraged!
