WIRED's Uncanny Valley Live, feat. Patreon CEO Jack Conte

WIRED is  partnering with KQED Live to the first-ever live show with the hit podcast Uncanny Valley — the technology podcast from that gives us an insider look at the people, power and influence of Silicon Valley.

The event will feature WIRED’s editor-in-chief Katie Drummond in conversation with Jack Conte, co-founder and CEO of Patreon.

As a founder and musician, Conte has been at the forefront of adapting and harnessing the power of changing technological landscapes to the advantage of creatives. This summer, Patreon reached a milestone of $10 billion in payments to creators since the company was founded in 2013.

Then, co-hosts Michael Calore and Lauren Goode will join Drummond for a conversation exploring how San Francisco grew to be the tech hotspot it is today, and how that role has changed in recent years. Emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning have allowed the Bay Area to keep a strong hold on its leadership position — but can it keep it?

This is an evening you won’t want to miss!
