Jack Dorsey has been attending Techonomy events since our very first conference in 2011. As the creator, co-founder, and CEO of Twitter, he has had a front row seat to the creation of our new social media age.
Below, you’ll find links to the Techonomy sessions that Jack has participated in in the past, from how to reinvigorate dying cities to the role tech can play in creating equity and peace. You’ll also find nearly a dozen pieces we’ve published over the past five years that mention his name. Read through some of these, and you’ll understand just how much Jack Dorsey embodies the Techonomic spirit.
Jack is also the co-founder and CEO of Square, which enables anyone to accept credit cards and run their business on their smartphone or tablet, removing friction from transactions and making commerce easy for everyone. Jack was recognized as WSJ Magazine’s “2012 Technology Innovator of the Year,” one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” and one of MIT Technology Review’s “35 Innovators Under 35.”
