Futurist.com Launches New-Look Website
by Glen Hiemstra on 01/02/10 at 5:46 pm | 
Today marked the successful launch of the new look for Futurist.com, my home as a futurist speaker and consultant. This new Wordpress-based theme provides a cleaner and up-to-date interface, and robust options in continuing to improve the user experience.
I am particularly pleased that we’ve been able to better organize the blog and the older content archive, for those of you interested in browsing the future. For those of you looking for a keynote or for high-level consulting in long-range planning, we’ve improved our access to information on what we offer, including examples of past consulting projects, and keynote speaking event highlights.
In the About tab we’ve more clearly explained our value proposition for futurist consulting and keynotes. You will also find better information about our history, Futurist.com Associates, and contributing writers.
There are better links to social media. And, as always, we also offer a great deal of video information.
By the way, Futurist.com had 34,000 visitors and 475,000 hits in January 2010, one of our largest months.
I also want to announce that, as of Febraury 2010, Amy Frazier, for the past two years our Director of Marketing and Programs, has shifted to being a Futurist.com Associate, offering programs in creativity, as she pursues a Masters degree in the subject. We have appreciated her work here and look forward to working together in this new relationship.
Please feel free to send in questions and comments. And we are booking 2010 at the moment, so do get on the schedule for a program this year.
Glen Hiemstra is a futurist speaker, author, consultant, blogger, internet video host and Founder of Futurist.com. To arrange for a speech contact Futurist.com.

Site looks great, do you ever get to Canada at all? I’m just up the road in the Vancouver area.
Thanks for all you do.

Owen, we don’t get up to Vancouver as often as you’d expect, being here in Seattle. But how about we make a plan to meet some time? (Ironically I’ll be in Auckland for the first week of the Vancouver Olympics.) Thanks for the compliment. I wonder if we could publish something from you sometime?

That’s a fabulous idea, I live right on the Border of Sumas, Washington in Abbotsford, B.C.,about 40 minutes from Bellingham.
I would be honored to write something, thank you for asking.
Thanks again, I trust this message finds you well.
