Future Day is a proposed new holiday celebrated on March 1st each year to raise awareness of and interest in technological singularity. The document outlines the history and growth of Future Day celebrations from 2012-2016, starting with small events in a few cities and growing to include over a dozen international celebrations by 2016. It discusses plans to make the 2014 Edmonton event a memorable salon-style gathering hosted by a media professional to further develop the branding and vision of Future Day as an annual international event.
