A Bold Prediction for the Future of Work

“Work will change more in the next three years than it has in the past 300.”

That’s the provocative premise of Dan Turchin’s upcoming keynote at TECHsurf 2025, SIM San Diego’s premier technology leadership conference. As organizations grapple with unprecedented technological disruption, Turchin brings a unique perspective shaped by hundreds of conversations with the world’s leading AI innovators.

His podcast, which reaches over a million listeners weekly and was recognized as the best business podcast for AI enthusiasts, has featured more than 350 conversations with AI experts, researchers, and practitioners.

Now, he’s distilling those insights for technology leaders navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

What to Expect: Practical Wisdom for an AI-Driven World

Turchin’s TECHsurf keynote promises to deliver more than just predictions. Drawing from his extensive conversations with AI pioneers and his experience leading PeopleReign—the system of intelligence that automates thousands of common IT and HR tasks for employees at many of the world’s most admired companies—he’ll share:
