Urban Future is Europe’s leading gathering for people who make cities better. Each year, it brings together the world’s most enthusiastic urbanists, city leaders, architects, planners, and changemakers, and in 2026, the movement comes to Ljubljana.
In this session, we’ll explore how facilitators can use existing technology signals and megatrend analyses to help groups co-create plausible future scenarios through a gamified, participatory format.
You’ll experience a gamified format to surface assumptions about the future, with a focus on disruptive technologies, and broaden perspectives on potential future impacts.
We’ll reflect together on what this kind of format makes possible in facilitation: where it works well, what it reveals, and what to be mindful of when using games to provoke futures thinking.
Useful for: This session will be useful for facilitators who want to experiment with interactive, low-threshold ways of introducing scenario thinking into group work.
Important: we often use breakout rooms, whiteboards, and plenary discussions. Please be prepared to turn on your camera, use your mic, and participate.
