We regularly post thought pieces on all topics listed above in the menu. Postings are a blend of original and republished writings from the Sarasota Institute’s Founding Members, Members, and curated writings from others that are important to share.
Sarasota Institute, founded 2017
The Sarasota Institute is completely changing our membership. We believe that large in person symposiums will not be a viable option until at least 2022, if then. Our memberships up until COVID-19 were based upon attending 4-5 in person symposiums in the Neel Performing Arts Center in Sarasota-Bradenton. Those memberships were $250 per person per 12-month period. For those members we have extended membership through 12/31/21 at no additional cost or an additional 12-18 months of membership.
This will all allow our global supporters to become members as many have requested
Annual membership is $125 per person per year from date of sign-up. This now opens up membership to all those not in Florida to be able to be members.
One for each of the topics at the top of this page – and two virtual symposiums in 12 months. All Webinars will be held on the first Thursday of every month, starting in September 2020. Topics will get booked when we have the global thought leaders scheduled to participate These will be available to join or view only if you are an Institute member.

There are a number of trends and forces that will manifest in the 2020s. These are all important and will be subjects of subsequent columns. Many of these trends reside within these four overarching dynamics of the decade: The Age of Climate Change The Age of Intelligence The Reinvention of Capitalism and Democracy A […]

Starting in 2019, the world moved from the Pre-Covid-19 period into the Covid-19 period. Everywhere clusters of people were becoming infected with Covid-19 and many deaths were occurring. Countries did their best to control the pandemic by urging their people to wear a mask, wash their hands frequently, avoid touching their faces and keeping at […]

The near-term future is catastrophic and depressing. The longer term is potentially transformative and uplifting… if we fully understand the possibilities and needs of this decade. As a futurist, I pride myself on the accuracy of my forecasts. When they have not been pinpoint accurate, they are usually directionally correct. That is my intention here, […]
