The world is transforming—fast
Business models are breaking. Economies are evolving. Technology is advancing so rapidly that it is outpacing our ability to imagine what we might do with it. It is an exciting time—but change can be overwhelming. The only way to keep up in an age of limitless intelligence? Embrace what makes us human by coming together, exchanging notes, and enthusiastically discussing what should matter most.
We need to Brainstorm.
For 24 years, Fortune’s award-winning journalists have convened an accomplished community of leading thinkers and thinking leaders—from powerful Fortune 500 executives and top investors to preeminent technologists and global influencers—for a three-day mountain retreat to interrogate the role of technology in society and tackle the most pressing problems at the intersections of Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Washington, and Hollywood.
We call this collective conversation Fortune Brainstorm Tech.
Challenge your assumptions.
Our 2024 annual summit in Park City featured conversations about an array of pertinent topics spanning industries. Last year we discussed artificial intelligence in filmmaking, biotechnology for “de-extinction,” rapidly changing consumer behavior, the changing economics of electric vehicles, fresh ideas for to disrupt housing, the latest advancements in mobility, robots in the workplace, and placing bets in a surprisingly volatile global economy.
Our 2024 event also featured an eminent slate of participants. Among them: Roeloef Botha of Sequoia Capital, Mary Daly of the San Francisco Fed, Brad Garlinghouse of Ripple, Clara Shih of Salesforce, Assaf Rappaport of Wiz, Kirsten Green of Forerunner Ventures, Vlad Tenev of Robinhood, David Neeleman of Breeze Airways, Peggy Johnson of Agility Robotics, Joe Gebbia of Samara, Philippe Krakowsky of Interpublic Group, Michelle Gonzalez of M12, Peter Rawlinson of Lucid Motors, Jeff Dean of Google, Aicha Evans of Zoox, Cristobal Valenzuela of Runway, and the leading technology journalist Kara Swisher.
