🌍✨ Save the Date: Fuller Futures Festival 2026 ✨🌍
April 22 - 26 | SIU Carbondale
Five full days of immersive programming including a re-launch of the World Game!
Fuller Futures is a national festival inspired by the legacy of Buckminster Fuller and dedicated to designing sustainable, regenerative, interconnected futures.
We are gathering:
• Artists, architects, and designers
• Engineers, innovators, and technologists
• Educators, scholars, and systems thinkers
• Students from every major
• Global collaborators
• And anyone who is simply curious, inspired, or “not sure what they’d contribute yet,” but feels called to be part of something big
Your ideas do not need to be fully polished.
This festival is designed so people can:
✨ bring works in progress
✨ test ideas
✨ find collaborators
✨ join conversations
✨ or simply experience the magic of creative problem-solving in community
📣 CALL FOR PROPOSALS IS NOW OPEN
We welcome submissions in:
• Panels & roundtables
• Workshops & interactive labs, presentations
• Installations, performances, & immersive art
• Prototypes, models, & design science explorations
• Student-led innovations
• Global or interdisciplinary perspectives
If your work touches sustainability, design, creativity, systems thinking, or imagining better futures then we want to hear from you.
Join the mailing list + submit your interest (link included).
Be the first to receive updates, proposal guidelines, and early registration access.
Planning to attend?
Book your room early. Carbondale will also be hosting a statewide science fair that week.
Save the date. Start thinking. Dream a little.
Whether you’re ready to propose something or simply want to show up and see where the conversations take you — Fuller Futures has a place for you.
