From the bottom of our tech-infused hearts: THANK YOU for joining us at THIS 2024 💓

This year, we really wanted to make friends with technology – a friendship that’s thoughtful and critical when needed. We explored everything from groundbreaking tech trends and democratized AI tools to actors exposing data fraud and battling digital villains. In short, we went full circle.

Over the course of 2 days, we hosted 3 tracks featuring 60+ speakers, held 4 social events, and wrapped it all up with 1 grand award show—delivering endless insights and inspiration spanning the realms of technology, gaming, and series. We’re deeply grateful for every speaker who shared their knowledge, for our amazing sponsors and for our incredible audience. It’s a cliché, but it’s true: none of this would have been possible without you.

As we close this chapter, let’s remember to look out for one another, not just in the digital world but more importantly in the “real” one. In times as uncertain as these, unity and empathy matter more than ever. It reminds us, that the relationship between humans will always be the most important connection of all.

See you all at THIS 2025 for more insights, inspiration and shared moments. Thank you again and take care ✨
