Harnessing the Transformational Power of Technology
FORTUNE Brainstorm: TECH convenes the world's top technology and media thinkers, doers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries. Our goal is to tap into the collective brainpower of the smartest people we know to explore the trends that are changing the future of business. The main focus: the way emerging technologies and tech entrepreneurs are solving problems and creating opportunities. This will be a collaborative conversation - smart, informed thinking about the challenges facing business and society – that will provide context and color to Fortune’s technology and business coverage throughout the year.
At this year’s Brainstorm Tech, we will focus on how technology companies, content creators and other institutions can thrive in the recession, and help lead the way to a new era of global prosperity.
The agenda is based on 4 content pillars:
- Renewal and Recovery
- The 21st Century Consumer
- Technology and Social Transformation
- Business Innovation
