Updated: We’re almost there! Ars Frontiers is next Monday, May 22, and the show gets started at 13:30 US Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4:00). We’ll be streaming via Youtube and embedding the stream in a story on the Ars homepage. See you soon!

Ars Technica is pleased to announce the return of Ars Frontiers, our single-day event that explores tech’s most vexing and fascinating issues. This year’s event will be held on May 22, and everyone is invited! Attendance this year is virtual, so we’ll be streaming all six sessions over the course of three and a half hours.

Readers who stop by the front page every day already know that Ars is a leader in bringing smart people together to talk about important topics—whether that means interviewing experts about current events or watching our highly skilled readers dissect an issue in the comments. In that same spirit of fostering brilliant discussions, this year we’ve curated a list of topics that explore the modern interconnectedness of innovation, with panels led by our subject matter authorities like Eric Berger and Dr. Beth Mole. All sessions will be streamed live on the Ars YouTube channel.
