What’s up?
Dear PopTech Friends and Family,
We have a hunch (more on that in our following newsletter!) that the next few months will remain a roller coaster ride, mirrored in our theme, Uncharted Territory. We’re doubling down on prediction, possibility, and perseverance.
The journey is about to begin—don’t get left behind!
To help us chart the course, we are delighted to highlight a few additional speakers to an already stellar line-up:
John Aristotle Phillips, CEO of PredictIt, the oft-reported on Stock Market for politics
Maurice Mitchell, National Director, Working Families Party, and Svante Myrick, President, People for the American Way, who always shine a light on possibility through purpose
Sam Gregory, Executive Director, WITNESS, on persevering by “fortifying the truth.”
Find our full roster of provocateurs on the PopTech 2024 conference page.
Why PopTech? If you are responsible for the success of a company, a team, or an organization, or you’re longing for the best possible future for yourself and your family, you must put PopTech at the top of your list this fall. Long known as the curators of what’s next, we face uncertainty with enthusiasm and look forward to seeing you in October.
Join us live October 8-10, 2024, at The REACH at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, for a program filled with provocations, questions, debates, field trips, and more! Additional highlights and announcements are coming throughout the next few weeks.
Group Rates PopTech is a wonderful way to celebrate friends and family or to plan a collegial offsite. We’re happy to help you with group pricing and planning. Reach out to [email protected].
Stay in touch, stay in tune,
The PopTech Team
PopTech 2024: Uncharted Territory
Really?
We’re delighted to share a fantastic article by our friend Alex Gladstein, which was recently published in Reason magazine. His piece, Can Nostr Make Twitter’s Dreams Come True?, captures how Jack Dorsey is convinced he’s found an open, ownerless network in Nostr.
We invite posts that capture the astonishing, engaging, and entertaining. Submit via REALLY?
