DECEMBER PROGRAM RECAP
This is a time of shockingly rapid change, and tech remains at the center both of our challenges and our opportunities. This conference was part of an ongoing initiative that explores where the U.S. will go, and could go. We heard experts on our national mood and politics, our cities, the role of business, the state of tech and innovation, healthcare, the push for inclusion and equity, climate change, and more.
Stay tuned for announcements on our upcoming event on April 20-22.
