2018 marks WIRED’s 25th anniversary, and we celebrated in WIRED style! Starting October 12, we took over our corner of San Francisco with four full days of behind-the-scenes tours, the latest gadgets, and talks with the smartest, most interesting leaders in technology, business, and culture. And of course, it wouldn’t be a WIRED party without a robot petting zoo.
To catch the programs from October 12, tune in to Facebook Live to learn about the future of work. WIRED’s editor in chief, Nick Thompson, spoke with Patrick Collison, Stacy Brown-Philpot, and Jeff Weiner.
