The mission of the Forecasting Meetup Network is to positively influence the future of humanity by promoting the practice of forecasting and use of prediction markets.
Our secret master plan to achieve this mission:
Hear our origin story on the Star Spangled Gamblers podcast:
Meetups primarily include mingling, networking, and talking shop with fellow forecasters, giving you a chance to meet like-minded people, creating stronger connections and dedication to the art and science of forecasting. Meetups may sometimes involve live forecasting (for example, election night watch parties, Oscars watch parties, etc), forecasting games, speakers, or similar.
We are forecasting hobbyists, prediction market traders (i.e. users of platforms like Manifold, Metaculus, and Good Judgment Open), political gamblers (i.e. users of platforms like PredictIt, Kalshi, and Polymarket), consumers of forecasting and related content (i.e. consumers of content from StarSpangledGamblers, Scott Alexander’s Astral Codex Ten, Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin, and other Riverians), effective altruists, rationalists, sports bettors (i.e. users of platforms like FanDuel, DraftKings, and other sportsbooks), etc.
Even if you don't fit any of the above descriptions, we'd love to have you! We welcome anyone interested in predicting the future, including academics interested in forecasting / decision-making / behavioral science / risk, financial services professionals (financial traders, quants, etc), regulators / journalists / other parties interested in the regulation of prediction market trading and related activities, political operatives and other professionals in position of decision-making authority about future events, etc.
