This is our world facing some of the most critical challenges of all time. While the last decade has seen a dramatic technological acceleration, the last 18 months have seen a tectonic societal change in the way we live, work and connect. Creating sustainable and strategic solutions to these challenges – both from municipal action and heroic innovation – requires us to refocus public discourse and even the way we think. Welcome to the first RE: WIRED.

And today we announce a list of new speakers and sessions for the event, which will take place on November 9 and 10. It is a series of virtual conversations between technologists and leaders in science, cybersecurity, the arts and entertainment, who ponder the effects of technology on society, the economy, sustainability and our future.

“At WIRED, we tell the stories of the people who work for the world’s greatest challenges,” said GIDian Lichfield, WIRED’s global editor. “I look forward to hearing from each of our speakers at RE: WIRED, because whether their work ends in success or failure, or is still ongoing, we can learn a great deal by discussing difficult issues with the most pressing problem on the planet. decision makers. “
