The Information's WTF is an intimate summit and one-of-a-kind gathering of bold women leaders in tech, media and finance.About this Event
At WTF 2026 (Women in Tech, Media and Finance), we convene the highest-level women across tech, media and finance for an intimate two days of candid conversation around a defining theme: Building.
AI is collapsing the distance between idea and execution. It is turning all of us—founders, operators, investors and executives—into builders. Leadership now demands more: deeper technical fluency, sharper product instincts, faster decisions. But it also enables far more—smaller teams with outsized impact, new institutions formed at unprecedented speed, entirely new categories emerging.
This year, the centerpiece of WTF will be a series of exclusive, in-depth interviews with top CEOs in tech, media and finance—the leaders actively building in this moment of transformation. In on-the-record sessions, we will press them on:
- How agents are reshaping companies from the inside
- The personal agent revolution
- The future of SaaS: Is it over or just beginning?
- The winners and losers in the new race for capital
- The rise of robotics and space
- Financing the future with crypto
- How the race for leading AI has gone global
- The rise of storytelling and narrative as techniques for attention and growth
- What’s next for creativity in the age of AI
- Building new media companies: What's working
WTF has always been about access to the people defining what comes next. This year, we go directly to the builders at the very top.
Speakers to be announced soon.
