I talk a lot of about the speakers we have at @mediasummitlive, and for good reason. They are incredible. But the audience is *really* what makes Media Summit special. We work very, very hard to make sure that everyone who attends worth talking to, and that no one is stalking the floor trying to make sales. And we already have an incredible group brewing for Media Summit | SF in June. That includes executives from Anduril, Lightspeed, Plaid, Ramp, Google, a16z, Kleiner, Thrive, and Mercedes, and reporters from nearly every business media outlet you can think of: The Wall Street Journal, FT, BBC, Reuters, NBC, Bloomberg, WIRED, Semafor… If you want us to have all the fun without you, we will. But you can also apply for a ticket below: mediasummit.live/events/medi…

I'm proud to say that @mediasummitlive has done something entirely original and unprecedented: We have started a @Substack. My hope is that this will serve as something of a digital continuation of our events—some simulacrum of the camaraderie, insights, and validation that folks get from Media Summit IRL. If that sounds cool, join us here: open.substack.com/pub/medias…

Our President @dvyhnz is much more comfortable staying behind the scenes vs. making headlines, but he made an exception to talk to CNN about how important the craft of journalism is in an age of AI slop & social media nonsense. In my view, real, quality, human-verified information is only going to become more valuable going forward.

We’re a month out from Media Summit | NYC and it turns out that we've packed an *absurd* amount of media firepower into one afternoon. That includes: • One-on-one conversations with @ajs, @RandallLane, @erichippeau, @mikehofman, and @drubs • Discussions with the biggest stars of Substack and indie media, including @Emily_Sundberg, @EricNewcomer, @alexrkonrad, @Kantrowitz, and @hopeking • Panels with some of the best beat reporters covering AI, crypto, and media, including @ninabambysheva, @leomschwartz, @Yueqi_Yang, @RebeccaBellan, @RashiShrivast18, @haydenfield, @maxwelltani, and @oliverdarcy Check out the full agenda in all its glory below.
