Don’t Call It a Comeback
The technology industry soared in the early pandemic years, only to fall back to earth as macroeconomic forces—including elevated interest rates, softened consumer demand, and global uncertainty—weighed down its spectacular growth. For many, 2023 was a year of tremendous tumult…which is just the kind of crucible that forges fresh innovation. The corner has been turned. Green shoots have emerged. Glimmers of hope have appeared. With economic optimism on the horizon and recession risk in the rearview, is a tech comeback in the cards? Where have futurists placed their bets? Who has best prepared for the opportunities ahead? And will this year’s political cycle help or hurt the tech industry’s ability to land a knockout punch?
Going into its 23rd year, Fortune Brainstorm Tech is one of the most high-profile and established tech conferences in the U.S. The event that began in Aspen in 2001 as a small conference and summer retreat for those interested in discussing global business issues and innovation has grown into a community of leaders from Fortune 500 companies, along with top investors, VCs, banking executives, startup founders, and global thought leaders. Gathering again at the Montage Deer Valley, the program delivers the hallmarks of FORTUNE Live Events: engaging content, impactful networking, and meaningful takeaways, always in an idyllic setting to exchange ideas and build relationships that offers the very best in curated activities, cuisine, and entertainment.
In 2024, our second in the “Silicon Slopes” of Park City, Utah, we will be joined by Mary Daly of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Jeff Dean of Google, Pedro Franceschi of Brex, Maëlle Gavet of Techstars, Dylan Jadeja of Riot Games, Peggy Johnson of Agility Robotics, Rohit Prasad of Amazon, Assaf Rappaport of Wiz, Darian Shirazi of Gradient Ventures, Garry Tan of Y Combinator, and Cristóbal Valenzuela of Runway.
