let ahmed go
There’s only one way to rub shoulders with all of these folks—register your interest before it’s too late:

Plus: Olympic snowboarder Shaun White will join us. Real estate star Ryan Serhant and Mr. “Assistants vs. Agents” himself, Warner Bailey, will, too. And I’m not going to promise that AI actress Tilly Norwood will make a cameo, but I’m not not, either.
And there’s no anniversary celebration without a little sizzle. Tech icons Steve Case and Meg Whitman return to our esteemed gathering, as does Brainstorm’s founding editor, David Kirkpatrick.
Lunar Outpost chief Justin Cyrus will take us to the moon. Future Dynamics CEO Cathy Hackl will open our eyes and Base Power CEO Zach Dell will bring the heat. We’ll even hear from Aaru CEO Cameron Fink, a tech wunderkind if there ever was one.
It doesn’t end there. Liquid Death chief Mike Cessario will murder conventional marketing. Noble Mobile CEO Andrew Yang will break down the math of digital addiction. Campus founder Tade Oyerinde will school us on new models for education.
Expect views from the smart money, too. Bloomberg Beta’s Karin Klein and CapitalG’s Mo Jomaa are among the illustrious investors in this year’s mix.
Expect emissaries from the ever-changing world of media. Among them: Tubi chief Anjali Sud, Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone, and Twitch chief Daniel Clancy—plus Grant LaFontaine, CEO of the addictive shopping streamer Whatnot.
We’ll also have leaders of some of the biggest corporations on the planet. UPS CEO Carol Tomé will join us, as will Booking Holdings chief Glenn Fogel and Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian.
We’ll have all things AI, of course. Anthropic’s Claude Code chief Boris Cherny will be there, as will SambaNova CEO Rodrigo Liang, Snowflake chief Sridhar Ramaswamy, and Adaption Labs CEO Sara Hooker.
And did we mention Brian Schimpf? All systems go for the Anduril CEO.
I’m thrilled to share some of the eminent folks who will be speaking at this year’s @fortune.com Brainstorm Tech, June 8 to 10 in Aspen, Colorado.
Joining the 25th anniversary celebration of our flagship tech summit is an array of big thinkers from across industries.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon was in top form at our annual @fortune.com Brainstorm dinner in Las Vegas last night.
Me: “Smartphones, robotics, industrial IoT, automotive, PCs….what businesses doesn’t Qualcomm want to be in?”
Him: “Bad ones”
#BrainstormTech #CES2026
It’s always a blast to gather brilliant folks in an intimate way for our first Brainstorm of the year. (The respite from the chaos of CES helps, too.) Can’t wait!
Stoked for our 11th (!) annual @fortune.com Brainstorm dinner in Las Vegas tonight.
I’ll be interviewing Qualcomm CEO Cristiano R. Amon about chips, robotics, AI, and more while colleague Allie Garfinkle will be leading a starry panel discussion about agentic AI.
Stoked to return to San Francisco for our fifth-ever, sold out (!) Fortune Brainstorm AI. We have an extraordinary experience, onstage and off, waiting for the business and technology leaders in attendance. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will join us. Natasha Lyonne will, too. And: San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie will be in the house. The CEOs of Arm, CoreWeave, Databricks, Calm, Contextual, Cursor, DataSnipper, Exelon, Freshworks, Glean, Google Cloud, Govini, Intuit, May Mobility, Rivian, Shield, Skild and more will offer their ideas. Eminences from Accenture, Amazon, Autodesk, Barclays, Canva, Cerebras, Cisco, Experian, Gap, Lowe’s, Mistral, Nvidia, OpenAI, PayPal, Perplexity, Qualcomm, Rubrik, Serve Robotics, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Workday, and Zoox will share even more. In short: It’s gonna rip. Brainstorm is unquestionably a team sport and I’m so grateful to chairs Jeremy Kahn, Allie Garfinkle, Jason Del Rey, and Rana El Kaliouby—plus programming geniuses Charlotte Burney, Caitlin Farrell, and Melissa Groff and production powerhouse Julieanna Gray-Stipek—for making our dreams real this week. We kick things off Monday morning. LFG!
LFG! @fortune.com #BrainstormAI
Thrilled to announce that San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie will speak at @fortune.com #BrainstormAI next week:

I hope so, too!
