Why Code
We’re excited to announce that Code 2020 is returning to California! Join us at the legendary and newly remodeled Beverly Hilton and its sister property next door, the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills.
Code Conference needs no introduction. It’s where the iconic Kara Swisher and Recode reporters hold the leaders of the most important tech companies to account in unscripted Red Chair interviews.
This year, Kara is refocusing on tech: grilling the titans of the industry as always, but also identifying what’s new and surprising in the industry. Where is the innovation happening? What products being developed today will change our lives a decade from now?
She’ll zero in on the leaders at the forefront of tech’s uncharted territories to discuss where things are headed, like:
- AI, automation, and the future of work
- The rise of the data economy: privacy, tech policy, and regulation
- Innovation in biotech and health, fintech, food and agri-tech, space, and climate change
- Mobility and megacities 4.0
The annual invitation-only Code Conference brings together a global community of the biggest names in the business — executive leaders and startups with bright futures — for networking and in-depth conversations about the current and future impact of digital technology.
You’ll want to be there.

Media, Recording, and Photography Policy
The Code stage is on the record for journalistic and editorial purposes. Journalists may quote anything the speakers and executive producers say onstage in stories or blog posts. Interviews that occur offstage in the hallways or at social gatherings are subject to whatever ground rules are agreed upon between parties at the time of the interview.
Still photos, taken from your seats, are okay. We ask that you do not use flash so as not to distract or annoy the speakers or others in attendance. Do not stand or crouch in the aisles or near the stage, as this interferes with our official show photographer, whose photos will be posted online for use by members of the media.
Finally, video and audio recordings are strictly prohibited, as we consider the audio and video content of our stage to be copyrighted. Similarly, while we respect fair-use reprinting of short text quotes, we do consider full transcripts of the conference to be our intellectual property.
This policy applies to all conference attendees.
