Reframe your perspective with a provocative two-day ideas festival from PBS News and KQED! 

Pioneering thought meets discerning journalism live onstage as some of today’s most inventive minds, changemakers, and artists join the hosts of PBS News Hour for in-depth interviews, timely discussions, and moving performances. Presented in San Francisco, where ideals of technological and social innovation confront critical realities – Reframe challenges attendees to consider new viewpoints, adapt to accelerating change, and reenvision the common good.

Featured speakers include U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, tech journalist Kara Swisher, former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, AI trailblazer and Stanford researcher Fei-Fei Li, Common Sense Media CEO James Steyer, Hoover Institution fellow Lanhee Chen, and more — all in conversation with PBS News Hour Co-Anchor Geoff Bennett, West Anchor Stephie Sy, and Former Anchor and Senior Correspondent Judy Woodruff.

With special performances by the women’s vocal ensemble Kitka and Ethiopian-American jazz singer and storyteller Meklit Hadero.
