Technology-Enabled Disruption Conference: Uncertainty and Prospects for Disruptive Investments

This conference series is designed to provide a better understanding of the ways in which technology enables change and, especially, disrupts existing business practice, altering the environment in which both they, and the consumers who are the reason we care about business in the first place, operate.

The Richmond Fed, in partnership with the Federal Reserve Banks of Atlanta and Dallas, hosted the fifth annual Technology-Enabled Disruption (TED) Conference. This conference series is designed to provide a better understanding of the ways in which technology enables change and, especially, disrupts existing business practice, altering the environment in which both they, and the consumers who are the reason we care about business in the first place, operate.

This year, the conference focused on uncertainty and technology, in three pieces:

  • Macroeconomic Uncertainties and Technology Investment
  • Uncertainty and the Path Ahead for the Tech Sector
  • Market Volatility and Energy Transitions

Against this backdrop, the aim was to foster discussion on how to appropriately manage in climate related energy transitions, how to think about the transformative activities happening in technology, and how to address these issues in a fraught macro-economic environment. And despite being faced with high uncertainty in many areas, individuals, academics, policymakers and business leaders still all have to make decisions regarding critical investments—in equipment, technology, business practices, and people.
