The Information’s 2025 WTF Summit

2025 is a year of curveballs, to say the least. Navigating the wild markets is a full-time job for most business leaders. AI has rewritten the rules of building and running a company. The regulatory landscape is constantly shifting and Washington, D.C. is disrupting the playbook.

This year, The Information’s WTF (Women in Tech, Media and Finance) is embracing the volatility. For the seventh year, we have assembled the newsmakers, the founders, the investors and the creatives who are charting new courses—amid all the change. Led by The Information founder Jessica Lessin, this two-day event will introduce attendees to these leaders and 300 other ambitious women making bold moves.

The Information’s WTF has transformed the typical women’s business conference into a one-of-a-kind gathering for an elite and deeply engaged community of important women on all rungs of the professional ladder.

In classic The Information style, Lessin will cut through the clutter and the hype for deep discussions.

• Elizabeth Stone, CTO, Netflix
• Kelly Steckelberg, CFO, Canva
