Deepak Chopra, Michael Barbaro, Susan Glasser, and Andrew Yang are currently slated to appear, with more guests to be added in the coming weeks.
Sessions will cover predictions about the future of political parties; the promise and peril of artificial intelligence; spiritual approaches to the mental health crisis; how CRISPR gene therapy is transforming medicine; and the next wave of Supreme Court decisions poised to further reshape American life.
This year’s festival will also include live tapings of popular podcasts from news organizations around the country, hosted by some of the most insightful journalists working today.
Our tech-savvy attendees will love The Vergecast podcast's take on the most important industry news. Political junkies will have their plates full with The Assignment featuring CNN’s Audie Cornish, plus The Weeds from Vox. Supreme Court watchers know Slate’s Amicus podcast with Dahlia Lithwick is one of our most popular sessions every year. And last but not least, Rachel Belle returns for a live edition of her James Beard Award-winning food podcast, Your Last Meal.
