Get ready for an exclusive glimpse into the world of innovation and leadership! The WIRED Big Interview Event is a must-see for anyone curious about the minds shaping our future.
This annual gathering, hosted by WIRED, brings together an extraordinary lineup of political figures, creative geniuses, industry leaders, and scientific pioneers. In 2024, we took this unique series to the stage in San Francisco, and the response was incredible. So, we did it again in 2025, and this time, it was even bigger and better!
But here's where it gets controversial... While some may argue that these events are exclusive and inaccessible to the average person, we believe that sharing these insights is crucial for inspiring and educating a broader audience. And this is exactly what the Big Interview aims to do.
The 2025 edition, held on December 4 at The Midway in San Francisco, was a day packed with insightful Q&As led by WIRED's own journalists. We delved deep into the minds of trailblazers like AMD CEO Lisa Su, director Jon M. Chu (known for his work on 'Wicked' and 'Crazy Rich Asians'), Anthropic cofounder Daniela Amodei, and Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, among others.
And that's not all! We also hosted a modern twist on the classic science fair, offering hands-on demonstrations and interactive experiences. It was a day filled with inspiration, knowledge, and a whole lot of fun.
