All Things Digital

Speakers

Each year, producers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher invite an eclectic mix of the most creative, forward-thinking, insightful people in the digital world to be speakers at D. From founders to CEOs, from industry legends to brash young innovators, D brings together the people who are shaping the way we work, play, communicate and live.

Yet D offers no place for cookie-cutter presentations or canned speeches. Walt and Kara interview the speakers live, onstage, eliciting insights and candor you won’t find anywhere else. D attendees are privy to the unguarded moments and frank observations the interviews bring out, and are invited to ask their own questions at the end of each session. The combination of no-nonsense interviews and intimate setting results in a conference experience like no other.

Speakers for D8 will be announced shortly. For D7, which took place May 26 to May 28, 2009, the speakers list included:
