Comments: "To me as an observer Thursday’s forum seemed to go very well. The speakers spoke with passion, with knowledge, with understanding. (...) Marcel Bullinga chaired the forum with charisma, precision timing and a fine sense of humour. One of Marcel’s aims was to get delegates networking and setting up "coffee dates" with each other." "Chairing is an art, I can now clearly see that." "Remembering what everyone else has said during the morning, how do you do that?" "Your English is excellent. To a non-native audience, that is very important." "Your dynamic way of presenting even convinced our most conservative politicians and boy, are they hard to convince!" "You did a brilliant job." "Who created your Powerpoint? A designer or did you do it yourself?" "You obviously did a lot of research about the subject and about the history of the congress place. That was very much appreciated by the host country, the people from Norwich." "You are a futurist, so you have general knowledge, but judging from your presentation today, you have the knowledge of a rural developer!"

— Iranian futurist, using Bullinga's article Intelligent government. Invisible, automatic, and everywhere in his futuring sessions: "My main reason to discuss your article was to make vision's to the attendees of the workshop, in order to stretch their mind that within 5 years in Europe (Developed World) and may be 7-10 years in Iran, Internet will be used to what purposes and how." While many still worked with a typing machine, Marcel Bullinga pioneered in 1993 with one of the first websites ever in The Netherlands. Nowadays, Marcel is a renowned futurist who gives presentations about the future, chairs congresses and leads futureshops in company and government boardrooms. His book In Total Self/Control: Internet 2005-2010 was presented in European Parliament. Unlike Nostradamus, Marcel is no doomwatcher.
