With the second annual Code Conference only days away, Re/code’s co-executive editors Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg are once again preparing to put leading figures from the tech industry and beyond into the hot seat, or at least the red chair.
In the video above, they highlight the key themes they’re looking forward to exploring, including diversity, disruption, the rise of Chinese tech companies and the evolution of mobile into other spheres.
The three-day event will feature top executives from Airbnb, Apple, BuzzFeed, CBS, GM, Google, Snapchat, Sprint, Target and more. It kicks off on May 26 at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.
If you didn’t nab tickets in time, news and highlights from both onstage and behind the scenes will appear on Recode.net through next week and beyond.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
