Different voices. Different perspectives.
One conversation about what comes next.
Meet the minds shaping what comes next. Human intelligence. AI and robotics. New markets. Capital. Leadership. New geographies.
In Shanghai, we bring together perspectives from Stanford, China and our own SEP community to explore the forces reshaping how we think, build, lead and live.

Kang Shen
What neuroscience can teach us about learning, adaptation and being human in an age of increasingly intelligent machines.

AI, energy, silicon and the physical breakthroughs and limits that may define what comes next.
CHINA FROM WHITHIN
From Shanghai
June Chau
An extraordinary entrepreneurial journey — and a perspective from inside China’s transformation into a global advanced-manufacturing powerhouse.
Zeng Fangqin
An inside view of the technology, manufacturing and industrial ecosystems powering the next generation of global innovation.
Two More Local Luminaries
Two additional voices will broaden our view of China — from its economy and global role to the forces transforming its society and culture.
FROM OUR COMMUNITY
Ideas from SEPeers around the world
The intelligence of SEP, brought to the stage. Across countries, industries and generations, SEPeers are already navigating many of the transformations we are coming to Shanghai to understand.
Their experiences give us a different kind of perspective: not predictions about what might happen, but lessons from what they are already building, testing, investing in — and living through.
