“The best conferences combine the intimacy of a salon with the pulse of a music festival. Very few conference operators can pull that off but John Battelle has delivered on it consistently over two decades. His latest effort, Shift Forum, explores the challenges with technology, politics, and capitalism and where we go from here. It's one of the few "must go" conferences out there right now”

“The NewCo Shift forum was a fascinating set of discussions that drove home the importance of planning for the future of work. It brought together large companies and small, as well as the worlds of investment and non-profit. Truly, a wide-ranging and critical look at how business can drive our country's development forward, and a great addition to the small list of "must-attend" events in Future of Tech and Society arena.”

“The Forum gets you thinking, not just about what’s immediately happening but the long-term effects of business and policy in our increasingly complex world. John Battelle doesn’t accept surface level answers, he digs deep with his high-profile guests and gets them to address the hard questions they’re facing today and will face in the future. ”

“Congrats on an awesome forum. Terrific content and attendees. There is a tremendous desire in the tech and the broader business community for a meaningful dialogue on societal change/impact and policy. ”
