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.

From Podcast to Podium: Bringing AI Insights to Tech Leaders

As CEO of PeopleReign and host of the award-winning podcast “AI and the Future of Work,” Dan Turchin has spent years at the intersection of artificial intelligence and enterprise transformation. 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:

  • Tech trends that matter: Cutting through the noise to identify the developments that will actually reshape how we work
  • Preparation strategies: Concrete steps leaders can take today to position their organizations for tomorrow’s opportunities

The timing couldn’t be more critical. As organizations face mounting pressure to do more with less, adopt emerging technologies responsibly, and maintain competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market, understanding AI’s trajectory isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Turchin’s unique vantage point, informed by both his role as a serial entrepreneur and active angel investor with a portfolio of more than 30 AI-first companies, offers attendees a rare opportunity to gain insights from someone who’s not just observing the AI revolution but actively shaping it.
