About this event
FutureHouse AGM is a chance to get in the room with the people who make this community what it is. If you care about where FutureHouse is headed, want to meet other members face to face, or simply want a clearer sense of the people and conversations shaping it, this is the event to be at in London on Tuesday evening. This is not just a calendar placeholder for formalities. It is a practical, social, community-led gathering designed to bring people together around the present and future of FutureHouse, with space for both structured updates and real conversation. About the Event FutureHouse AGM brings together the community for an in-person annual gathering in London. At its core, this is a moment to reflect on what has been happening, hear key updates, and create a shared sense of direction for what comes next. Because it is an AGM, there is a clear collective purpose: people are not only attending to listen, but to stay informed, participate, and connect with others who have a genuine interest in the community. That makes the evening useful whether you are already involved or are looking for a stronger entry point into the network. The format is well suited to an in-person setting. Expect a blend of structured moments and informal interaction, so the evening can serve both people who want clarity on the bigger picture and people who are mainly coming to meet others and build relationships. As a community, networking, meetup, and social event, FutureHouse AGM sits at the intersection of governance, conversation, and connection. You can come to engage seriously with the event's purpose while also enjoying the more relaxed side of meeting people in the same room. What to Expect The evening begins at 6:00 PM GMT+1 and is designed as an in-person gathering rather than a passive presentation. While the exact agenda may vary, the shape of the event is straightforward: community members come together, hear important updates, and spend time connecting. You should expect a mix of activities such as: A clear opening to frame the evening and set context for the AGM Community or organizational updates that help attendees understand current priorities and progress Opportunities to hear how the group is evolving and what matters going forward Time to meet and talk with other attendees in a more informal setting A social atmosphere that makes it easy to continue conversations beyond the formal portions One of the strengths of an event like this is that it gives different kinds of attendees something useful. If you come for substance, you will get a better understanding of the community and its direction. If you come for people, you will have a natural setting for introductions and conversations without the awkwardness of a purely open-ended networking event. Because the event is in person, expect the value to come as much from the room as from the program. Conversations before, between, and after the more structured parts of the evening are likely to be where many of the most helpful connections happen. Why Attend If FutureHouse matters to you, this event helps you move from following at a distance to being part of the conversation. Being in the room gives you context that is hard to get from updates alone: the tone of the community, the priorities people are rallying around, and the chance to ask better questions because you can hear what others are thinking too. It is also a smart event to attend if you value high-signal networking. People who choose to come to an AGM are usually there for a reason. That means you are more likely to meet attendees who are engaged, informed, and interested in the same broader topics of community building, collaboration, and future direction. A few concrete reasons this evening is worth your time: You will leave with a clearer view of what FutureHouse is doing and where it may be headed You can strengthen your connection to the community by showing up in person You will meet others with real shared context, which makes conversations more useful than generic networking You can spot opportunities for future involvement through the people you meet and the themes discussed You get both structure and social time, instead of having to choose one or the other For newer attendees, this can be one of the easiest ways to get oriented. For returning members, it is a natural point in the year to reconnect, compare notes, and stay close to the community's momentum. Practical Details Location: In person in London, United Kingdom.
