future forge


Explanation:
I do not disagree with the other suggestions here, but my feeling is that this would be some creative venue, "forging the future".
Also, keep in mind that it is apparently a workshop for the future, not in the future...

Workshop of the future


Explanation:
I reckon it is more likely to be 'workshop of the future' because there would probably be stress put on the possessive.

Fremtidsværksted
brainstorming workshop


Explanation:
I think it is pretty much the same thing. I think the term "Future workshop" is a Scandinavian phenomenon...?

"Fremtidsværkstedet er en arbejdsform, som afgrænser, hvad en forsamling af mennesker har mest lyst til at arbejde med. Man kan sætte et tema for fremtidsværkstedet eller man kan kaste sig ud i det for at finde ud af, hvad fremtidens tema skal være."
