The Information has announced its upcoming summit, “The Future of Influence: What’s Next for Creators, Entertainment & AI,” scheduled for June 3, 2025, in Los Angeles. The half-day event will bring together executives from technology, entertainment, and media sectors to discuss the creator economy.

The summit, hosted by Team Lead Kaya Yurieff and reporters from The Information, will take place at NeueHouse Hollywood from 1:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. PT.

Key Topics and Industry Participation

The event will focus on several transformative trends, including artificial intelligence’s impact on content creation, the narrowing gap between traditional Hollywood and digital influencers, podcasting’s growth, and the emergence of creators as business founders. Discussions will also cover how major brands are reallocating advertising budgets in response to these shifts.

Confirmed speakers include Substack co-founder & CEO Chris Best, Dude Perfect CEO Andrew Yaffe, and Facebook’s VP & Head of Product Dane Glasgow. 

Content creators participating in the summit include Dhar Mann, founder of Dhar Mann Studios, comedian Adam W, and Corporate Natalie, who co-hosts the “Demoted Podcast” and co-founded ExpandVA.

The corporate perspective will be represented by John Deere’s Global Director of Strategic PR & Enterprise Social Media Jen Hartmann, while Spotify’s Head of Podcast Business Roman Wasenmüller will discuss audio content trends.

Networking Opportunities for Industry Professionals

Beyond formal presentations, the summit will provide networking opportunities that organizers note have previously facilitated business deals, sales leads, and product development. The event is open to both subscribers and non-subscribers of The Information, with discounted tickets available for current subscribers.

Additional speakers are expected to be announced as the event approaches.
