Top 10 Tech Trends

Top 10 Tech Trends

One of Churchill Club’s most anticipated events of the year is the annual Top 10 Tech Trends debate. What new trends will emerge in the next several years with potential for explosive growth in about five years’ time?

Presented in partnership with Forbes, the Top 10 Tech Trends debate evaluates trend predictions for the years ahead. A panel of five notable venture investors each present two key trends, rate and debate those trends, and a live audience weighs in.

21st Annual Top 10 Tech Trends – May 2019

This year’s event featured Brian Ascher of Venrock, Navin Chaddha of Mayfield, Jeff Crowe of Norwest Venture Partners, Lauren Kolodny of Aspect Ventures, and Rebecca Lynn of Canvas Ventures presenting two trends each.
