LIVE: How to Watch WIRED25

So far, 2020 has made the future seem scary, if not unimaginable. But it’s still possible to feel excited about what comes next, and this year’s WIRED25 honorees are here to pave the way. During a normal WIRED25 celebration of our annual list, we would gather in San Francisco to hear from CEOs, activists, scientists, authors, and more. This year is hardly normal, so instead we’re bringing the conversation to you. Join us over the next three Wednesdays for a series of livestream events with the visionaries, community builders, and problem solvers working to ensure a rosier tomorrow.

The festivities will begin with an opening night today, September 16, from 5 to 7:30 pm ET featuring co-CEO of Netflix Reed Hastings, actress Brie Larson, restaurateur Gabriela Cámara, and more. On September 23 from noon to 1:30 pm ET, we’ll hear from the likes of Nextdoor CEO Sarah Friar and journalist Maria Ressa about building resilience for ourselves and for the planet. And then, tune in from noon to 1:30 pm ET on September 30 for conversations with problem solvers including Anthony Fauci and Audrey Tang about how we’ll make our way out of the coronavirus pandemic. (Read on for the full event schedule.)

We’ll be livestreaming the entirety of the event below, and you can follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube as well. All WIRED25 livestream conversations are free to attend; register here to join (and get the recipe for the WIRED25 signature cocktail, plus a chance to hang out “backstage” and chat with speakers).
