Upgrade 2025: Innovation for the New Reality

Call For Speakers

To upgrade reality is to cross the chasm from an idea to an innovation that brings the world into a new era. With the advent of LLMs in AI just about two years ago, we have crossed that chasm.

This year at Upgrade 2025, we want you to address what it means to innovate in this new reality. For some, that may mean new AI applications, addressing the energy needs for compute power, and the impact on sustainability. What does privacy and security innovation look like when we could possibly have LLMs focused on subverting what we have today? Simply put, AI is here to stay. What are you doing now, or what is your vision of the future with AI?

If you know of research, a technology, or a concept worthy of Upgrade, we want to hear from you.

And mark your calendars: Upgrade 2025 will be April 9-10, 2025.

April 9-10, 2025
San Francisco, CA
