The meeting opened with introductory remarks by Jerome C. Glenn on the year’s accomplishments, highlighting progress in global foresight research, AGI governance initiatives, publications, and network expansion. Among the major achievements was the print and Kindle publication of State of the Future 20.0, released as a 550-page Print on Demand edition on Amazon and in Kindle format.

Twenty-five interns contributed to The Millennium Project’s activities during the year, joining from China, Ukraine (from Romania), Poland, the UK (from China), the USA, Mexico, Germany, Iran, Canada, and Italy. Mara Di Berardo, Communication Director of The Millennium Project, presented the Communication & World Futures Day 2025 update. She outlined the challenges and opportunities in MP’s communication strategy, noting that the traditional newsletter—though still an important channel—is experiencing a gradual decline in subscribers. This trend, she emphasized, highlights the need for a complete redesign of its graphic identity to better respond to evolving audience expectations. In contrast, the LinkedIn newsletter launched in late 2024 has been performing particularly well, confirming a shift in reading habits and emerging as the most effective medium for outreach.

Social media activity has also continued to grow steadily across platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and X—though the continued use of X may need to be reconsidered. Di Berardo also noted that other platforms, including Instagram and Bluesky, currently host non-presided accounts that should be evaluated for strategic development. She then introduced the new research project on World Futures Day as a cross-cultural participatory foresight method, which will enable the analysis of WFD data from 2024–2025. She also stressed the importance of early planning for the organization of WFD 2026 to ensure continuity and improvement of the global event. Her presentation concluded by underscoring the need to allocate adequate resources to communication in order to strengthen their impact and sustain long-term visibility. A new issue of The Millennium Project newsletter is out, covering a wide range of exciting updates and events.
