Upfront Summit 2017: The Main Stage
Every year at the Upfront Summit, we gather more than 800 investors, entrepreneurs, and tech executives to engage with the topics critical to our industry.
This year, in addition to discussions about VC, investing, and startups, we tackled wide-ranging issues from building effective VC firms to mass incarceration, from the future of media to managing ADD, from the 2017 venture forecast to the importance of workplace diversity. In doing so, we were honored to be joined by more than 100 incredible speakers from the worlds of tech, media, sports, politics and investing.
- Providing perspective on the political landscape were Glenn Beck, Mayor of South Bend Pete Buttigieg, Crooked Media’s Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett, and from our hometown, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
- Media and content vanguards including Ev Williams, Dick Costolo, Jonah Peretti and Alexis Ohanian shared thoughtful critique of today’s online media landscape.
- Leaders from Mark Cuban to Alex Rodriguez offered their views on tech, investing, management and almost everything in between.
We were truly grateful to every speaker for their time and insights at this year’s event.
But don’t take our word for it — you can see these tremendous conversations for yourself. We’ll be sharing all Summit content over the next few weeks, beginning with featured speakers Mark Cuban, Glenn Beck, and Jonah Peretti (below.)
