Tom Allon, Founder and Publisher of City & State, and Julie Samuels, Founder, President, and CEO of Tech:NYC, are back for a second season of Tech in the Cities! This season, titled When Every Company Is a Tech Company, explores what it means as technology becomes increasingly central to every industry. Together, Tom and Julie examine how this shift is shaping New York, the economy that powers the city & state, and the public institutions at play.  

The season premieres with a look at the historical context behind this moment in New York's tech ecosystem. Joined by author and journalist Jonathan Weber and Fizz Co-founder and CEO Teddy Solomon, Tom and Julie look at the lessons New York can learn from Silicon Valley's rise and what they mean for the city's next chapter.
