Tech & Society: A Forum for Reflecting on the Future of Technological Society Discussions

The Tech & Society cycle, a collaboration between Aspen Institute España and Fundación Telefónica, serves as a forum for diverse and informed reflection on the significant questions posed by advancements in digital technology. It explores the influence of these technologies on human relationships, politics, education, culture, economics, and medicine.

The 'Tech & Society' cycle, a joint initiative by Aspen Institute España and Fundación Telefónica, aims to create a vital forum for pluralistic and informed dialogue concerning the complex issues arising from digital technology's rapid advancements. This program delves into the pervasive influence of these technologies across a broad spectrum of human experience, including interpersonal connections, political systems, educational paradigms, cultural landscapes, economic structures, and medical practices. Through open conferences featuring experts, the cycle examines the most significant technological changes and trends, and how individuals and societies can best prepare to face them. It questions the impact of technological development on our individual and collective lives, political participation, workforce dynamics, productivity, and perceptions of health. Initiated in 2017, this ongoing cycle has featured internationally recognized experts, establishing itself as a leading platform for reflecting on technology's contribution to society. Beyond the live conferences, which are also accessible online, the cycle produces an annual, freely downloadable publication summarizing the key challenges and discussions from each year's sessions. This provides a lasting resource for understanding the evolving relationship between technology and society.

Information about past and upcoming sessions, including links to publications and YouTube playlists, is available. Specific ticketing details for individual events within the cycle are not provided on this overview page, suggesting events may be open or require separate registration not detailed here.
