WSJ Tech Live is our most exclusive technology event, convening more than 2,000 C-Suites, founders, VCs, investors and tech leaders in-person and online who are defining the scope of technology’s impact on business, regulation and innovation.
Attendees will be in the room where headlines and deals are made, and have opportunities to make meaningful connections with top-tier investors, founders and collaborators ready for their next venture.
This year’s Tech Live will attract some of the biggest names in tech and business, speaking on the most important issues and trends–from the future of work to the creator economy and the metaverse.
