The evolving landscape of digital media will be represented by Tubi CEO Anjali Sud, Twitch CEO Daniel Clancy, FlightStory CEO Georgie Holt, Whatnot CEO Grant LaFontaine, and Warner Music Group CEO Robert Kyncl.

Brainstorm Tech 2026 will also feature prominent investors such as Vista Equity Partners' Robert F. Smith, Bloomberg Beta's Karin Klein, and CapitalG's Mo Jomaa, alongside disruptive founders and CEOs driving innovation across consumer products, mobility, aerospace, and more.

Mitchell of the Global Electronics Association. Aaru President and Co-Founder Ned Koh, an emerging tech entrepreneur, will also join the stage.

In celebration of Fortune's 25-year Brainstorm legacy, AOL Co-Founder Steve Case, former HP and eBay CEO Meg Whitman, and Brainstorm founder David Kirkpatrick will return to Aspen for special sessions reflecting on the conference's origins and lasting impact. Additional notable speakers include Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, real estate entrepreneur Ryan Serhant, and digital media innovator Warner Bailey, the creator of Assistants vs. Agents.

"We are building on a quarter-century of Brainstorm, where some of the biggest headlines and deals in tech history originated, by convening the people who are actually driving the future of technology, business, and even society," said Andrew Nusca, editorial director of Fortune Brainstorm. "This year's program is designed to showcase big ideas, challenge assumptions, foster candid debate, and help leaders navigate an increasingly complex and intelligent world. This year we will celebrate Brainstorm's storied past and renew our mission to illuminate the world's greatest challenges. I can't wait to expand the community of pioneers who will once again lead us into the future."

Brainstorm Tech 2026 is led by Editorial Director Nusca alongside co-chairs Allie Garfinkle, Senior Writer and Editor at Fortune; Jeremy Kahn, AI Editor at Fortune; and Jason Del Rey, Founder and Author of The Aisle.
