One-Hour Special Will Offer Conversations from the Titans of Technology, Business and Media Including Jonathan Ive, Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey
Airs on Saturday, October 18 at Noon ET
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today announced a one-hour special offering of exclusive content from the first-ever Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit held in San Francisco last week featuring some of the giants in technology, business and media.
Timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the magazine's New Establishment rankings this fall, the VF Summit was an intimate forum where the titans of technology, business, and media engaged in important, exclusive conversations about the future. SiriusXM will air portions of the VF Summit in a one-hour special airing on Saturday, October 18th from 12 PM – 1:00 PM ET on SiriusXM Indie 102.
The one-hour special will offer listeners in-depth conversations from unexpected pairings of these leaders including: Elon Musk (Tesla/SpaceX) with Walter Isaacson (Aspen Institute); Bob Iger (Walt Disney) with Jack Dorsey (Square/Twitter); Graydon Carter (Vanity Fair) with Jonathan Ive (Apple); and panels with Jonah Peretti (Buzzfeed), Kara Swisher (Re/Code) and Shane Smith (Vice), moderated by David Carr (The New York Times); and U.S. Senator Rand Paul, Eric Schmidt (Google), and John Doerr (Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers), moderated by Bob Woodward.
"In the converging worlds of tech, media and beyond, we're excited to offer our audience unprecedented access to the leaders who are shaping dialogue and changing history," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer.
The VF Summit was inspired by the Vanity Fair New Establishment list, Vanity Fair's annual must-read ranking of those figures who are setting the global agenda and leading the Age of Innovation. Since 1994, Vanity Fair has been tracking the New Establishment -- a term coined by editor Graydon Carter to denote the influential and intersecting worlds of technology, media, entertainment, politics, and beyond that were shifting and shaping the global conversation.
