What’s new at Fast Company’s 9th annual Innovation Festival
By Kc Ifeanyi
We’re only a couple of weeks away from Fast Company’s 9th annual Innovation Festival in New York City. From September 18-21, the Innovation Festival will bring together thousands of inventive thinkers, up-and-coming entrepreneurs, and visionaries from around the world to celebrate the creativity and groundbreaking ideas that are transforming industries.
If you’ve been to the Innovation Festival before, you can expect much of what you’ve come to love about the event: dynamic stage conversations from speakers this year including Tracee Ellis Ross, Slack CEO Lidiane Jones, and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis; thought-provoking Fast Tracks, our spin on field trips, featuring office visits to Made Music Studios, Luxuny Atelier, M.M.LaFleur, and many more; and hands-on workshops with industry leaders.
But what would the Innovation Festival be if we weren’t innovating ourselves? This year, we’re introducing some new experiences that will leave you entertained, enlightened, and energized. Check them out below and sign up through the session selector while slots are available!
"Dumb Money" Advance Film Screening and Q&A
In 2021, a group of amateur investors on Reddit brought hedge funds to their knees and upended Wall Street by betting big on the failing video game retailer GameStop. What ensued was a financial drama of David vs. Goliath proportions that sparked a larger conversation around democratizing investing—and became the basis of Sony Pictures Entertainment ’s upcoming film Dumb Money. Join an advance screening of the film followed by a Q&A with the writers and executive producers Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo.
Day(s): Monday, September 18
Location: Tribeca Screening Room (375 Greenwich St. New York, NY 10013)

1 年I am particularly excited about the "Dumb Money" Advance Film Screening and Q&A. The story of the GameStop short squeeze is one of the most fascinating financial dramas of the past decade, and I am eager to learn more about it.
