Future Continuous implies action that continues into the future. It usually consists of the following two elements.
[WILL BE] + gerund form of verb [VERB+ing]
Here are some examples:
When your plane arrives tonight, I will be waiting for you.
I will be watching TV when she arrives home from work.
Important distinction: In the simple future a specific time is used to show the time an action will begin. In the future continuous, a specific time only interrupts the action.
For example:
Tonight at 8 p.m., I am going to watch a movie.
This means I will start watching a movie at 8 p.m. This is simple future.
Tonight at 8 p.m., I am going to be watching a movie.
I will be in the process of watching a movie at 8 p.m. Does not mean I will start the movie at 8 p.m. This is future continuous.
Good luck with your seminar.

A future continuous is used to express an action that will be continuing at some point in future; as
I shall be leaving for Mumbai at that time
This tense is formed by adding shall be/ will be+first form of verb+ing

A continuous action in the future:

You will be running a race
They will be learning about verb tenses
use will be + a participle to form the tense
