Our Vision Weekends are the annual festivals of Foresight Institute. Held in two countries, over two weekends, you are invited to burst your tech silos, and plan for flourishing long-term futures. Come for the ideas: join the conference, unconference, mentorship hours, curated 1-1s, tech demos, prize awards and much more. Stay for fun with new friends: join for the satellite gatherings, cyberfuture meets salsa night, beach party, and surprise island adventures.

Now, the choice is yours:

After a whirlwind of breakouts, we unite again to compare paths to progress across technologies, and how we might step up as a community to support the leading paths.
Why join the Puerto Rico Edition?
In the heart of the Caribbean lies a vibrant island, with cobblestone streets winding through a town adorned with pastel-colored buildings and historic fortresses. Nestled within it, you can find Old San Juan, with captivating architecture, grand plazas, hidden courtyards, a scenic waterfront, and centuries-old churches to explore. At Vision Weekend 2025, this enchanting location will offer a touch of adventure to inspire a thriving future.
