The world is navigating an entirely new, tech-centric workplace that connects people and companies in infinite ways, but disconnects them in many others

The ATC CEO Summit 2022, presented by Netspend and Red Fan Communications, brings together tech and innovation leaders from the region and around the world to discuss and debate opportunities and challenges in a hybrid workforce; how entrepreneurship is shaping and defining Austin's tech ecosystem; and the real impacts of cyber threats, with advice on how to prepare and recover.

The day concludes with a keynote by venture investing expert Sarah Jones Simmer, CEO of Found, who will share her experiences leading start-ups and scaling rapid growth businesses, and discuss novel ideas on leadership, communication, and the future of ethical business.
