Last year, there were 380 events, 30,000 in-person participants, 70,000 digital interactions, and over 7 million social media views—these are incredible numbers.
Taking place in over 200 locations across the city, the festival demonstrates Rome’s readiness to actively and dynamically embrace the future, at large.
From September 16th to 22nd, 2024, there will be a whole week filled with events, talks, and shows held in various locations across both ancient and modern Rome.
These events will explore eight major themes (Technology, Communication and New Media, Culture, Creativity and Social Innovation, Energy and Sustainability, Smart Cities and Infrastructure, Mobility and Transport, Research and Education, Financial Innovation and Economy, Health, Wellness and Biotech) that are key to understanding and shaping the relationship between the future, development, technology, and humans.
Highlights of the second edition include the presentation of a collection of science fiction writers from Rome, evening events at selected venues in Rome that offer more than just food and entertainment, and a special selection of future-themed books curated by local bookstores.
The Future Explorers initiative returns, featuring 300 young people aged 18 to 30, either professionals or job seekers, who have participated in an open stage, attended events, and earned their first digital skills certification badge. This badge, awarded at the first edition of RFW, can be added to their LinkedIn profiles and has become a multiplier of opportunities.
The program is jam-packed with options, and choosing which events to attend may be a bit of a puzzle, but rest assured, Rome Future Week holds something for each of us – after all, we’re all moving in the same direction.
