Peter Leyden has spent his entire career figuring out the future, explaining what’s probably coming next, and helping envision how we could create a better world. He worked at the early Wired magazine, and founded the media startup Reinvent. As curator and host of the event series What's Now San Francisco, he showcased many of Silicon Valley's thought leaders and created a platform for deep conversation and connections around innovative ideas.

His latest project, The Transformation, is an optimistic analysis on what lies ahead, based on deep interviews with 25 world-class experts looking at new technologies and long-term trends that are largely positive, and could come together in surprisingly synergistic ways.
