Post-Pandemic Powers: Tech’s Opportunities and Challenges in a post-Covid World

Covid-19 was almost perversely good for tech companies. The largest players, led by Amazon and Apple, gained even greater influence and power during a global lockdown that spurred demand for e-commerce, video streaming and electronic gadgets. Internet leaders Google and Facebook have only extended their control over digital advertising and the flow of online information. Crypto currency prices have soared, upstarts have gone public via SPACs, and even transportation and travel companies like Uber and Airbnb have made it through and are ready to ride a rebounding economy.

The post-pandemic landscape is an exotic and strange one, bubbling with new opportunities and hidden pitfalls. Regulars and lawmakers who in years past adopted a hands-off policy toward tech are more closely scrutinizing every move made in Seattle and Silicon Valley. The SEC is ramping up to take a great look at the SPAC boom. And while a new exuberance has followed the pandemic, there are questions about just complete the recovery will be.

Join us as we explore the opportunities and challenges of post-pandemic tech at Sooner Than You Think, 2021.
