Future Events News Service (www.fens.com) has been producing its world report since 1987. It is updated in real time, looks forward years, contains contact details, a searchable international contacts database, an archive of past events as well as its forward diary and email alerts. It is searchable by region, every country and over 100 categories. Sorry Foresight/AFP you got it wrong. -- Tom I am afraid that AFP Global Agenda is a long way from a first.

Anyway, this is not intended as an advert, but you raised an entirely valid point and thought should at least comment James Hi Oliver

saw your comment re the AFP Agenda which is a collaboration between ForesightNews and AFP

We are actually planning to have the online updated and email bulletins etc etc of course; re Hard Copy and updates in fact just over 50% of those who have ordered the Agenda (from the UK to USA to Australia), have requested the hard copy; we guess that there is still something aesthetically pleasing/tangible about having a fat, heavy book on the shelf!
