SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18, 2026 – MoneyShow Newswire — Macro strategist Jim Bianco, acclaimed Internet analyst Mark Mahaney, and noted economist Edward Yardeni will headline the 2026 MoneyShow Masters Symposium San Francisco, taking place Aug. 25-28 at the Fairmont San Francisco.
Hundreds of high-net-worth investors, active traders, financial advisors, and sponsors will gather for MoneyShow’s first San Francisco event since the pandemic. Set in the heart of one of the world’s most important technology and innovation hubs, the symposium will feature the theme “The Human-AI Edge: Dominating the New Economy.” The four-day program will focus on how AI and other transformative technologies are reshaping companies, industries, markets, and investment opportunities.
“No technology has captured investors’ attention — or impacted the investment landscape — like artificial intelligence,” said Mike Larson, SVP/Editor-in-Chief at MoneyShow and host of the San Francisco Symposium. “Our experts will explore how AI is changing the way businesses operate and where capital is flowing. More importantly, they’ll show attendees how to position their portfolios for the opportunities ahead — at a time when questions are mounting about what’s real and what’s overhyped.”
In addition to AI, the symposium’s keynote presentations, panel discussions, and workshops will tackle topics like the global economic outlook, the future direction of interest rates, the impact of geopolitics on markets, and the evolving U.S.-China tech rivalry. Attendees will hear from some of the most respected voices in finance and economics, including Edward Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research; Jim Bianco, President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research; Alejandra Grindal, Chief Economist at Ned Davis Research; Gordon Chang, author of The Great US-China Tech War; and Larry McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report.
The San Francisco program will also put a major emphasis on identifying the companies, sectors, and emerging technologies that could drive the next phase of market growth. Mark Mahaney, Senior Managing Director and Head of Internet Research at Evercore ISI, will share his insights on the technology and internet landscape, while Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, will explore the evolving ETF universe.
Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, will examine opportunities in digital assets and crypto, while experts including Carley Garner, Keith Fitz-Gerald, Howard Lindzon, Paul Meeks, Louis Navellier, and Shana Orczyk Sissel will address opportunities across technology, growth stocks, private markets, commodities, and alternative investments. Sessions will also explore potentially overlooked opportunities in robotics, drones, space, quantum computing, infrastructure, biotech, energy, and hard assets.
For active traders seeking more actionable, high-level education, MoneyShow’s San Francisco Symposium will also offer an extensive lineup of interactive, in-depth MoneyMasters® Courses. Attendees can sharpen their skills in areas like options selling, technical analysis, and trading psychology.
The event will also give attendees direct access to the experts during intimate Q&A sessions, coffee breaks, and cocktail receptions. With a limited-attendance format designed to encourage personal interaction, the symposium provides an unusual opportunity to compare ideas with leading market professionals, fellow high-net-worth investors, and traders — while experiencing all that San Francisco has to offer.
