I’m so excited for our fast-approaching 25th anniversary Fortune Brainstorm Tech, June 8 to 10 in Aspen. 

Recommended Video

This year’s gathering is really special. For the first time in almost a decade, we’re returning to Brainstorm’s spiritual home. We’ve held this event 16 times in Aspen before; all but four were on the campus of the Aspen Institute. Much of our DNA was assembled here. 

We’re also lucky to have several veterans along for the ride. Brainstorm’s founding editorial impresario, David Kirkpatrick, will join us. Several of this year’s speakers—including Steve Case, Mark Hoplamazian, Meg Whitman, Jim Lanzone, Glenn Fogel, Peggy Johnson, Hans Tung, Zack Bogue, and Bill Briggs—are multi-decade Brainstorm participants. 

That’s not to say we aren’t embracing the new and the next. After all, this is Brainstorm.

We kick things off on Sunday night with a special screening of part of the documentary Your Attention Please, followed by a Q&A with two CEOs about the digital attention economy. 

Monday starts early. This year’s morning activities include hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, and a Jeep tour. (Suit up!) Our mainstage program begins in the afternoon with Anthropic’s Claude Code chief Boris Cherny and continues with an array of compelling voices, among them Bloomberg Beta’s Karin Klein, Base Power’s Zach Dell, Twitch’s Dan Clancy, Aaru’s Ned Koh, Mistral’s Timothée Lacroix, Tubi’s Anjali Sud, and Anduril’s Brian Schimpf. We’ll bring it home with Warner Music chief Robert Kyncl and the multi-hyphenate artist Grimes, then break for our first batch of roundtable sessions on AI governance, defense tech, and managing the pace of change. Cold drinks await at the home of Laura and Gary Lauder, after which we’ll break for a well-deserved dinner. 

Tuesday is packed and stacked. Morning yoga is followed by a trio of breakfast roundtables—on the workforce, AI pilots, and trust—and then it’s on to the mainstage. XBOX CEO Asha Sharma and comedian Trevor Noah get us started; NVIDIA, Lila Sciences, SambaNova, Adaption Labs, and Wonder’s Marc Lore keep us going. We’ll talk Mars rovers and customer journeys and global logistics and competitive edge (with Olympian Shaun White)—and that’s before we even get to lunch. Booking’s Glenn Fogel and real estate star Ryan Serhant bring us back for the afternoon program, during which we’ll cover spatial intelligence, tech revolutions, controlling culture, health outcomes, the so-called SaaSpocalypse, agentic shopping, and the death of doomscrolling. (Phew!) We’ll close it out with Disney star-turned-space CEO Bridgit Mendler, then head out on the town for a special slate of dining experiences we’re calling “Night Out in Aspen.” 

Before you head to the airport, we’ll come together for one last brainstorm. On Wednesday morning, join one of three robust discussions led by the authors of Fortune’s technology newsletters: Term Sheet’s Allie Garfinkle, Eye on AI’s Jeremy Kahn, and the guy behind Fortune Tech: yours truly.

We’re just two weeks away from what will surely be an extraordinary experience. So please: Rest, hydrate, and dust off your thinking caps—it’s gonna rip. I can’t wait to see you in Aspen.

Can’t make it to Fortune Brainstorm Tech this year? Watch a livestream of the mainstage program beginning June 8 and register your interest for our upcoming Fortune Brainstorm AI, December 7 to 8 in San Francisco.

The Fortune 500 Innovation Forum will convene Fortune 500 executives, U.S. policy officials, top founders, and thought leaders to help define what’s next for the American economy, Nov. 16-17 in Detroit. Apply here.
