The Forum of Possibilities 2025

Venice, a laboratory of awakening. When Intelligences unite for a broader consciousness to promote the renewal of the Earth.

The Forum of Possibilities returns to Venice on November 19 and 20, 2025, for a third edition dedicated to the union of intelligences: human (and especially that of the heart), natural, collective, ancestral, cosmic, and artificial. For two days, researchers, artists, thinkers, indigenous leaders, entrepreneurs, and citizens will come together to imagine a regenerative future for new generations, and for ourselves.

This edition will be held at the headquarters of The Human Safety Net , Piazza San Marco 105, Venice.
