WIRED is hosting a special live recording of its "Uncanny Valley" podcast in San Francisco, diving deep into the current landscape for women in Silicon Valley.
The event will feature a compelling discussion focused on gender and power, a theme central to WIRED's upcoming special issue. The evening kicks off with a unique conversation between tech journalist and former WIRED writer Paulina Borsook, author of the re-released book "Cyberselfish," and WIRED's global editorial director, Katie Drummond. Borsook, known for her critical perspective on the tech industry, will share insights on WIRED's evolution and her thoughts on the current "trillionaire class."
Following this, a podcast panel featuring executive editor Brian Barrett and contributing editor Zoë Schiffer will welcome WIRED senior correspondent Lauren Goode. Goode will discuss her journey to identify the most influential woman in Silicon Valley, adding another layer to the exploration of power dynamics.
The "Uncanny Valley" live event, co-presented with KQED, is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, with doors opening at 6:30 PM and the program starting at 7 PM at The Commons at KQED in San Francisco.
