2026 Predictions Forecasting
Join us to practice forecasting skills as we look ahead to 2026!
Timing:
Sunday, January 18th, 2PM - 4PM!
2:00 - 2:45 PM: Flextime & Socializing
Drop in whenever works for you during this window. Grab a beverage, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new community members. This is unstructured time to chat about whatever interests you; such as, recent reads, projects you're working on, or simply catch up from the holidays.
2:45 - 4:00 PM: Predictions for 2026
We'll collaboratively make predictions about the year ahead across various domains: technology, politics, science, personal goals, and whatever else the group finds interesting. We'll practice:
Assigning probabilities to our predictions
Calibrating our confidence levels
Operationalizing vague claims into testable forecasts
Recording predictions for review at next year's meetup
