Pop Tech Announce The Hosts Of PopTech’s 20th anniversary gathering, PopTech: Culture Clash!

We are thrilled to announce the hosts of PopTech’s 20th anniversary gathering,PopTech: Culture Clash! Actress Carly Chaikin, star of the Golden Globe award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show “Mr. Robot” will take the stage with neuroscientist and business professor, Moran Cerf.

As the first pair of co-hosts in PopTech’s history, together they will navigate an array of topics including politics, culture, sex, communication, science and art.

Actress Carly Chaikin, notable for her role as Darlene, a hacker leading an underground movement in “Mr. Robot,” has become a role model for young female coders. Carly was nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award and Teen Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role, and is an ardent supporter of women in tech. This October, she’ll join forces with real life hacker-turned-neuroscientist, Moran Cerf.

Moran Cerf is a professor of neuroscience and business at the Kellogg School of Management, where he studies decision-making and behavior in economic contexts. His curiosity for understanding the brain and human behavior came from his decade-long career as a hacker, breaking into top financial organizations and governments to test their security.

We’re also excited to add two incredible speakers to the program: April Reign, creator of the viral hashtag #OscarsSoWhite and challenger of the lack of representation of marginalized communities in Hollywood and beyond; and human behavior scientist Jon Levy, who studies influence and adventure, and applies neuroscience and psychology research to economics and biology.

Presented by WIRED, this year's PopTech is taking place at a moment when an exploration of the global challenges and possibilities that will shape our future has never been more relevant. Join us for a not-to-be-missed convening of community, breakthrough ideas and impact.

PopTech is only five weeks away—don’t wait—order your tickets!
