The future will be explained to you in Palo Alto

Pa Wednesday evening At the International Center in Palo Alto, some of the smartest people who are creating things you don’t understand are coming. This is the last event of 2025, and frankly, the line is ridiculous.

The series has passed around the world under austices about techcrunch. Steve rents theaters in DC; We spoke to the Greek Prime Minister in Athens; And Kirsten Green gave it to us at Puredidio in San Francisco. The idea is always the same, find the people who are doing the most important work in every room that no one wants.

Our favorite moment? In 2019, Sam Altman told many people that the way to make Cleaizizi metal is to “bind AGI, ask how to make money.” Everyone laughed. It wasn’t a joke.

Currently we have Nicholas Kelez, an expert in energy efficiency who spends 20 years at the Department of Energy to build sustainable energy systems. Now they have a big semiconduct production problem: Each advanced chip relies on a $400 million machine that uses lasers that only one Dutch company knows how to make. . It’s as nerdy as it sounds but more important than you might think.

Then there is Mina Fahmi, who created a ring that captures the whispering thoughts and he rejects them. Before you roll your eyes, know that he and the budding Kirak spent years at Meta working on these things after the company was acquired. The river ring isn’t trying to be your friend, it’s a method – it’s trying to grow your brain. Conceived by Toni Schneider, a co-creator who produces billions of learning words, Sandbar just pops out of Stealth and can be on anything. .

We have Max Hodak – Science Corp Founder, Time magazine COVER STORYand, in the past, great, his name has already restored many blind visions possessed by demons. Now he is working “biohyhiid And that is just the tip of the ice, as Hodaki sees it. Instead, he thinks that 2035 will look very different from today, and he is happy to share how.

Finally, we are happy to welcome Chieien and Elizabeth Toil, two vcs who have answered Twitter, Spock, Slack, Makuyu, and Coin Babase before they became names. Chieet runs a marine center and thinks that silicon valley is completely wrong when everyone goes into Enterprise AI. Weil made a record after Growitz’s stints with Twitter, which the angels made 100x by returning 4x. His network is very good. Both of them think that the best educational opportunities are the ones that everyone is ignoring, and they will explain why.

The world’s leading player, along with his partner Kut Gelsanger, formerly of Intel. There will be drinks, delicious food, and snacks; Seats are limited, so if you want to come, use it quickly.
