About the Event
The technology industry is reckoning with the consequences of over-exuberant growth during the pandemic, with an avalanche of layoffs and faltering earnings reports spurring a dramatic downshift of the tech world. Futuristic notions of moving to Mars, flying cars and robot armies don’t seem quite as relevant when tech CEOs are grappling with the immediate concerns of rightsizing their companies amidst a global economic downturn. Growth for growth’s sake is no longer the coin of the realm. Bloomberg has been covering the ups and downs of the technology industry for 30 years, and it’s in these cyclical downturns that things get exciting. So, where does experimentation and innovation still live, and what do the coming wave of new disruptive technologies mean for businesses, investors and society? Now in its seventh year, the Bloomberg Technology Summit in June 2023 will bring together prominent CEOs, investors, entrepreneurs and influencers to discuss the road ahead for Silicon Valley and beyond. Led by Senior Executive Editor Brad Stone and Bloomberg TV Host and Executive Producer Emily Chang, the day-long San Francisco event will focus on the rapidly changing social media landscape; the prospects for a continued regulatory crackdown on tech, the power – and peril – of a new wave of sophisticated AI services like Dall-E and ChatGPT coming online; and the future of cryptocurrencies after a series of spectacular scandals in 2022. Previous keynote speakers at the Bloomberg Technology Summit have included Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Waymo Co-CEO Tekedra N. Mawakana, and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen; we expect to draw similarly high-profile keynote speakers this year as well.
Bloomberg Tech Topics
AI |
New generative AI services allow users to create prose or art by describing it in text. The capabilities of AI are ever-expanding and impacting the creative world. What are the uses of AI-generated art and prose? What are the ethical implications? |
Crypto |
Not too long ago, cryptocurrency seemed on its way to becoming mainstream. Then 2022 happened – Terra USD, Luna, FTX and SBF, and the cratering price of all tokens. Can crypto recover? What does a new regulatory framework look like, now that the credibility of the industry has been undermined by scandal. |
Social |
Can Social Media survive the Age of Elon? The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX bought twitter for $44 billion and promptly blew away all assumptions for how to run a safe, profitable social media company. Do we really have to choose between free speech and online safety? And what do the changes mean for other social media companies? |
Tech Reset |
VCs are divided on where we are in the perpetual Silicon Valley cycle of boom and bust. Some are counseling startups to prepare for prolonged pain of layoffs and retrenchment; others point to the lingering availability of capital and the opportunities posed by AI, AR and our ever-expanding internet lives. |
