Emerging Tech Dialogues

Elizabeth Mannix and Alexander Colvin

Cornell's Emerging Tech Dialogues engage community members from Ithaca, Cornell Tech, and Weill Cornell Medicine to explore new technologies, applications, and experiences.

Elizabeth Mannix, the Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Management at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, and Alexander Colvin, the Kenneth F. Kahn Dean and Martin F. Scheinman Professor of Conflict Resolution at the ILR School, were keynote speakers at The Future of Work: People, Process, and Technology, October 2025.

"I truly value the Emerging Tech Dialogues series—these events have been instrumental in fostering meaningful collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation across the university’s IT community. They create a rare and much-needed space for cross-functional networking, idea exchange, and forward-thinking conversations. I fully support the continuation and growth of these events, as they play a vital role in helping us collectively explore new technologies and shape the future of our digital campus." -- Emerging Tech Dialogues Attendee

 

Faculty, staff, researchers, and students, come participate in Cornell's event series that explores new technologies with your IT and ITS partners across campuses and focus areas!

Emerging Tech Dialogues are hosted by Ithaca Chief Information Officer Ben Maddox. Each free day-long symposium is conducted on the Ithaca campus and in Zoom. The themes address current higher education technology trends and concerns.

As each event's date and theme is announced, the planning committee welcomes ideas for posters and breakout topic suggestions from Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Tech as well as the broader Ithaca campus. These suggestions can be made when participants register for each event.
