RISE Conference To Showcase The Tech And Leaders Shaping The Future Today

This is a critical moment for the tech industry as the global attention has turned towards the role technology is playing in shaping the future and directing today’s world towards that future. Returning again to celebrate this revolution is RISE, the tech conference featuring the tech world’s CXOs, startup founders, investors, social media influencers and tech personalities. Produced by the team behind tech conferences such as Web Summit and Collision, will feature multiple stages over the course of three discourse-filled days with talks from leading experts in data science, AI, finance, autotech, and more.

With the rise of AI, automation, robotics, Big Data and high-speed connectivity through 5G, the world is on the cusp of the next big technological revolution. This revolution involves the biggest tech companies in the world, as well as startups, investors, the media, and the individuals who will usher in this new era.

RISE will delve into these issues and more from July 8-11 in Hong Kong. This year RISE will host over 350 speakers, 16K+ attendees from over 100 countries, with 71% of them coming from senior management positions. RISE is being held in one of the most innovative cities in Asia, but this is a global tech forum with media organisations from around the world.
