What this session covers

Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal are taking the main stage to conduct a series of live interviews. The pair host Acquired, the #1 technology podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts with over 1 million listeners. Acquired tells the stories and strategies of the world’s greatest companies—each episode is a deep dive into a single company’s history from its founding until today. Ben and David personally handcraft each episode over 200 hours of research and production. From founders to Fortune 500 CEOs, Acquired has interviewed some of the most influential leaders in technology and business, such as Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Ballmer, Morris Chang, Matt Garman, and Jamie Dimon.
