A high-profile, long-running event that has attracted tech luminaries like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter and Square cofounder Jack Dorsey and last year brought entertainer Kerry Washington to Orlando will be back in Lake Nona for a second year.
Organizers behind Worth Magazine’s Techonomy conference announced this week that the three-day retreat will return Nov. 17-19. Guest speakers for this year’s conference have yet to be announced.
However, the event regularly hosts some of the more relevant and high-impact figures. The conference had been held in Silicon Valley up until last year, when the event shifted to Orlando.
“Techonomy 24: Leading with Intelligence” brings together top executives, technologists and thought leaders.
“Lake Nona is proud to once again host Techonomy 24, an event that embodies our commitment to fostering innovation and technological advancement,” said Juan Santos, senior vice president of brand experience and innovation for Lake Nona, said in a press release. “This gathering of visionary leaders and thinkers aligns perfectly with our mission to create a community where technology, sustainability and human wellbeing intersect.”
“The AI revolution happened very slowly and then all at once,” said Dan Costa, Worth Media Group’s chief content officer, in the release. “CEOs, policymakers, and even the technologists building these tools are grappling with what it all means–that conversation continues at Techonomy 24.”
The guest lists for previous events have been deep.
Along with the aforementioned trio, politician Andrew Yang, longtime Google executive Marissa Mayer, former Walt Disney Studios Chairman and DreamWorks SKG Cofounder Jeffrey Katzenberg and Ford CEO Jim Farley have appeared.
This year’s program will revolve around how emerging technologies factor into industry while addressing other factors such as privacy and regulation.
