Speakers announced! PopTech: Culture Clash

"As the cultural barriers that once separated us as people continue to give way, those that remain are both the source of great conflict, and also our greatest possibility."  We’re excited to reveal a few of the many speakers who will come together this October for our 20th anniversary at PopTech: Culture Clash. Lizz Winstead, co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show and co-founder of Lady Parts Justice; Jenna Wortham, writer for the New York Times Magazine and chronicler of technology's influence on culture, race, education, and health; Alan Alda, Emmy Award-winning actor and recipient of the National Academy of Sciences Public Welfare Medal; Esther Perel, psychotherapist recognized as one of the most original and insightful voices on couples and sexuality across cultures; Platon, world-renowned photographer and human rights advocate; Physics Nobel LaureateJohn Mather of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center; and Grammy Award-winning musician, beatboxer and former Roots member, Rahzel, are just a handful of the eclectic voices you’ll hear from as part of this increasingly relevant discussion. Stay tuned as we share more speaker and program updates! Together we’ll examine the provocative issues that dominate the headlines and continue to raise our awareness and challenge our hearts. We will come away with a deeper perspective on what is happening and the possibilities that could come next, as well as the inspiration to take positive action in our communities. Add your voiceto the conversation and join us for an unforgettable journey at this unique moment in history.
