Lunch: 12:30 pm
Conversation and Q&A: 1:00 – 2:00 pm
The Paley Center for Media, 25 West 52 Street, NYC

Steve Case has been at the forefront of American innovation for more than four decades. As the co-founder of America Online (AOL), he helped usher in the digital age, and today, as Chairman and CEO of the investment firm Revolution, he is backing the next generation of transformative companies. Case will reflect on the parallels and key differences between the early days of the internet and today’s AI moment and examine the consequences of past tech revolutions. At the center is the geography of opportunity. Through Revolution’s Rise of the Rest initiative, Steve has invested in more than 200 companies across more than 100 cities and has long advocated for founders beyond Silicon Valley. This insightful conversation with one of technology’s and venture capital’s most influential leaders brings Steve Case’s perspective on where the next wave of innovation is headed and how today’s technologies could reshape industries, markets, and everyday life.
