Unmanned Aerial Vehicle The latest drone news
The 22nd annual Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference continues today (Tuesday, July 11) and tomorrow at Montage Deer Valley, in Park City, with all main stage speaker appearances available to livestream for free at http://www.fortune.com/livestream.
The rest of today’s schedule is as follows.
2:45 – 3:00 PM — ARE DRONES READY TO DELIVER TO YOUR DOORSTEP?
Regulation remains a barrier for those eager to see delivery drones buzzing above American
cities and towns. Matternet’s CEO talks about getting an industry-first FAA certification and
what this first step means for everything from delivering emergency aid to reducing emissions
in supply chains.
Andreas Raptopoulos, Founder and CEO, Matternet
In conversation with: Jessica Mathews, FORTUNE
3 – 3:10 PM — FROMMER’S GUIDE TO THE NEW CONSUMER
How has a year marked by change affected consumers? Has inflation, bank failures, and
generative A.I. shifted attitudes towards startups and technology? From the macro to the
micro, we explore how consumers think about their money—and where they spend it.
Presenter: Dan Frommer, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, The New Consumer
3:10 – 3:30 PM — WHAT IS OLD IS NEW: THE RISE OF RESALE
The U.S. secondhand market is presently growing at a much faster rate than general retail and
is expected to double by 2026, reaching $82 billion. Much of this growth has been spurred by
Gen Z consumers eager to save money and waste less. At the same time, many companies
have struggled to benefit from this boom. We’ll hear from two “recommerce” leaders who say
they have found the way to capitalize on a growing (and proftable) consumer trend.
Thibaud Hug de Larauze, Co-founder and CEO, Back Market
Samina Virk, Chief Executive Officer, North America, Vestiaire Collective
In conversation with: Phil Wahba, FORTUNE
3:30 – 3:45 PM — FLY ME TO THE MOON
From robotics to climate tech, one of the world’s largest companies is still investing in pie-inthe-sky innovations. But so-called moonshots were hit hard by tech’s downturn, and a new
mandate for greater efficiency across the industry. Is there still a place for big ideas in big
tech?
Dr. Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, X
In conversation with: Terri Burns, Fortune Brainstorm Tech
3:45 – 4:10 PM — VC OUTLOOK
Banks collapsing, crypto crashing, and a slowdown in IPOs—we take a look at a year in tumult
and hear from thought leaders in venture capital. How are they looking at the year ahead?
Where are new opportunities for growth in 2023 and beyond? And what can we learn from the
meltdown of Silicon Valley Bank?
Ilya Fushman, Partner, Kleiner Perkins
Laela Sturdy, Managing Partner, CapitalG
Kareem Zaki, General Partner, Thrive Capital
In conversation with: Polina Pompliano, FORTUNE
4:10 – 4:25 PM — AHEAD OF THE CURVE: A.I. AND THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
The old saying “disrupt or become disrupted” has become alarmingly clear to those in edtech,
where valuations are plunging, and core businesses are becoming obsolete due to the rise of
free A.I. tools. How can innovators working across edtech adapt to, and compete with, the rise
of these new technologies? To address this challenge, Chegg recently launched its own AIpowered study aid, powered by GPT-4. When students return from their summer break, the competition for A.I.-tutors will ramp up once again, but will Chegg be able to stay ahead of the curve in shaping the next chapter of education?
Dan Rosensweig, Co-chairman, President and CEO, Chegg
In conversation with: Jeremy Kahn, FORTUNE
4:25 – 5:00 PM — TOWN HALL CONVERSATION: WHERE TO, TECH?
Since January, more than 150,000 tech workers have been laid off, leading many to question
whether the tech industry overhired and undermanaged long-term risk. The deployment of
generative A.I. raises ethical risks (and regulatory scrutiny) while the fallout from the Silicon
Valley Bank collapse continues. With all this in mind, how can we tune out the noise and
harness technology as a driver of positive change in the world? If tech companies have infnite
potential to innovate, what role should society have in governing the new technologies they
create? And to what extent should tech take responsibility for the negative effects that its
industry has had on society?
Discussion Leaders:
– Aike Ho, General Partner, ACME Capital
– Ashley Kramer, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Strategy Officer, Gitlab
– Marissa Mayer, Co-Founder and CEO, Sunshine
– Jay Parikh, Chief Executive Officer, Lacework

5 – 5:10 PM — BEYOND THE SLOPES
In our final session of the day, we’ll hear from one of America’s most decorated skiers on her
own personal journey with mental health and her new path beyond the slopes–from
empowering underserved young girls to exploring the potential of technology to change the
world of professional sports.
