The Future of Humanism conference was held on October 15, 2016 at the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, MN, as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of calling John Dietrich, the "Father of Religious Humanism" as minister there. You can read all about the anniversary and the conference in the UU World article, Humanism at 100.
The Humanist Institute was a cosponsor of the event and they have made the videos available as an on-line course on their Kochhar Online Humanist Education website. This course includes the conference presented in four 30-minutes videos where you can learn from inspiring speakers how humanism is growing, what challenges we face, and how we can strengthen our voice and influence in society.
