What’s up?
Hey PopTechers!
Music and comedy alert! Reggie Watts is back at PopTech this October! Get ready!
And that’s just the start. In true PopTech fashion, we’ve crafted a lineup of established and emerging voices to help make sense of the swirl of chaos and possibility around us. Expect new ideas, good laughs, moments of awe, and an amazing set of new colleagues. Remember, you can’t experience any of it without registering!
Check out POPTECH30: Civil for updated speaker list and forum FAQs.
We’re busy designing a forum, not a conference: no sterile hotel ballrooms, no sad box lunches, no concurrent sessions competing for your time. Instead, expect an analog Socratic forum, cafe lunches, cocktail parties, music, and field trips. No conference app required.
We look forward to having your voice in the room in October!

The PopTech Team
PopTech hits an amazing milestone in 2026. We’re entering our 30th year of convening, community-building and impact. This one’s a not-to-miss! We’ll be back at The Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C., October 6-8, 2026, creating a campus across the lovely and walkable Logan Circle neighborhood of DC for POPTECH30.
Worth a Watch
Since we mentioned Reggie Watts is returning, here are his past PopTech performances: 2011, 2010, and 2006. They’ve racked up millions of views for good reason.
