/ About this event
What does it mean to build the future forward?
As artificial intelligence accelerates, industries transform, new economies emerge, and the relationship between people and technology continues to evolve, the decisions we make now will help determine what the next era looks like.
The Future Forward Impact Summit, presented by Wonder Women Tech, is an intimate gathering of founders, technologists, executives, creators, investors, social innovators, and community leaders exploring the intersection of technology, leadership, culture, innovation, and human impact.
Rather than another day of passive panels and predictions, Future Forward is designed to spark conversation, connection, and new possibilities.
Together, we will explore emerging technologies and ideas while asking bigger questions about how we build organizations, communities, products, workplaces, and systems capable of thriving in a rapidly changing world.
Programming may include future-focused conversations, fireside chats, interactive discussions, innovation spotlights, and curated networking with leaders working across technology, AI, entrepreneurship, business, creativity, social innovation, and impact.
This is a space for the people building what comes next and for those who believe the future should not simply happen to us.
We should have a hand in creating it.
This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
