How do I keep up to date as a futurist?

Keep informed on global trends. Understanding risk and opportunity. Key futuring methods and scenario methodologies. Building a future vision. Strategic planning and forsight. Take a fresh view on the world, watch people, learn all the time, be hungry to understand what does not at first make sense. You will be judged by your own track record of correctly anticipating important new trends. Patrick Dixon, conference keynote speaker and futurist.
