We\u2019ve held this event 16 times in\u00a0Aspen\u00a0before; all but four were on\u00a0the\u00a0campus of\u00a0the\u00a0Aspen\u00a0Institute. Much of our DNA was assembled here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also lucky to have several veterans along\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0ride. Brainstorm\u2019s founding editorial impresario, <strong>David Kirkpatrick<\/strong>, will join us.

Morning yoga is followed by a trio of breakfast roundtables\u2014on\u00a0the\u00a0workforce, AI pilots, and trust\u2014and\u00a0then it\u2019s on to\u00a0the\u00a0mainstage.
