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.
