I am *so excited* to return to Aspen for the 25th anniversary of @fortune.com #BrainstormTech. It's June 8-10, 2026.
I can't wait to once again bring together the smartest technologists, executives, and investors we know.
I hope you'll join me:

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon was in top form at our annual @fortune.com Brainstorm dinner in Las Vegas last night.
Me: “Smartphones, robotics, industrial IoT, automotive, PCs….what businesses doesn’t Qualcomm want to be in?”
Him: “Bad ones”
#BrainstormTech #CES2026
It’s always a blast to gather brilliant folks in an intimate way for our first Brainstorm of the year. (The respite from the chaos of CES helps, too.) Can’t wait!
Stoked for our 11th (!) annual @fortune.com Brainstorm dinner in Las Vegas tonight.
I’ll be interviewing Qualcomm CEO Cristiano R. Amon about chips, robotics, AI, and more while colleague Allie Garfinkle will be leading a starry panel discussion about agentic AI.
Stoked to return to San Francisco for our fifth-ever, sold out (!) Fortune Brainstorm AI. We have an extraordinary experience, onstage and off, waiting for the business and technology leaders in attendance. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will join us. Natasha Lyonne will, too. And: San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie will be in the house. The CEOs of Arm, CoreWeave, Databricks, Calm, Contextual, Cursor, DataSnipper, Exelon, Freshworks, Glean, Google Cloud, Govini, Intuit, May Mobility, Rivian, Shield, Skild and more will offer their ideas. Eminences from Accenture, Amazon, Autodesk, Barclays, Canva, Cerebras, Cisco, Experian, Gap, Lowe’s, Mistral, Nvidia, OpenAI, PayPal, Perplexity, Qualcomm, Rubrik, Serve Robotics, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Workday, and Zoox will share even more. In short: It’s gonna rip. Brainstorm is unquestionably a team sport and I’m so grateful to chairs Jeremy Kahn, Allie Garfinkle, Jason Del Rey, and Rana El Kaliouby—plus programming geniuses Charlotte Burney, Caitlin Farrell, and Melissa Groff and production powerhouse Julieanna Gray-Stipek—for making our dreams real this week. We kick things off Monday morning. LFG!
LFG! @fortune.com #BrainstormAI
Thrilled to announce that San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie will speak at @fortune.com #BrainstormAI next week:

“As yardsticks of American progress go, Penn Station does not inspire pride … a layer cake of inadequacy.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
I hope so, too!
It'll be the evening of January 5, 2026 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
This is our largest Brainstorm members' dinner and we reach capacity every single year, so if you want to come, don't wait—register your interest ASAP:

I'm delighted to announce that Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon will be the featured interview at our long-running @fortune.com #BrainstormTech dinner in Las Vegas.
We'll be talking about chips, chips, and more chips. (Oh, and AI, too.)
wow
But it doesn't stop there. Our annual dinner in January in Las Vegas is around the corner. So are the next Brainstorm AIs.
And next year's Fortune Brainstorm Tech in Aspen? You better believe we've got surprises in store for our 25th anniversary. LFG. 🚀

I'm excited for what Jason, Allie, Jeremy, Charlotte, Caitlin, and I have in store over the next year. We're well underway programming our upcoming Fortune Brainstorm AI San Francisco (Dec 8-9) and I'm thrilled to again gather the finest minds in AI.
...fishing and riding before the program began. We had wonderful receptions with a view and delightful dinners that went deep into the evening. (To say nothing of the bowling.)
And, of course, I loved seeing old friends and making new ones. That's what it's all about.
Our airy mountain aerie, starting to show fall colors, was stunning as always. There's nothing like our flagship Brainstorm high up in the mountains and I was so glad to see everyone sweat it out hiking and rafting and...
Neil Vogel, Janice Min, Matthew Prince, and Bill Gross were so engaging about the future of media. Neuralink patient Noland Arbaugh brought the house down. And I'm fairly certain we all wanted to stay to listen to Michael Ovitz's stories about "Bob and Marty." (If I may: Absolute cinema.)
The conversations on and off stage were on point. My chat with Lyft CEO David Risher was a joy. Wyclef Jean's perspective (and freestyle) was amazing. Dara Treseder, Rachel Thornton, and Frank Cooper III had such memorable things to say about the future of marketing.
How great was @fortune.com #BrainstormTech this year?
It's taken me a few weeks to process everything—the sudden birth of a child will do that to you!—but I'm just so grateful for the opportunity to help put on the finest tech gathering on the planet with the smartest people we know.
let’s 👏🏼 go 👏🏼 #phillies

Stoked to announce my newest venture, which came out of stealth to launch during @fortune.com #BrainstormTech:
Our son Felix, eight pounds and five ounces of conference-shattering cool. (Mom’s doing great; Dad can’t stop taking photos; big brother’s over the moon.)
