Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi set to keynote at Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference

The Uber chief executive is scheduled to appear in a keynote fireside chat at Goldman Sachs’ annual Communacopia & Technology Conference, according to an announcement published Aug. 19.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Uber Technologies is sending its chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi, to the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference, where he is expected to participate in a keynote fireside chat, the company said in a release published Tuesday.

The announcement places the appearance at the conference on Thursday, positioning Uber’s leadership for a public discussion of strategy at a gathering that typically draws senior executives from technology, media, and telecommunications sectors. While the release confirms the event format, it does not spell out the specific topics or questions.

Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia & Technology Conference has become a recurring platform for investors and executives focused on how technology companies intersect with communications networks, distribution platforms, and consumer platforms. Uber’s participation indicates that investors continue to treat ride-hailing and delivery businesses as both consumer-facing platforms and operational technology businesses.

For Uber, the appearance arrives during a period when public markets keep a close watch on growth, profitability, and the durability of demand across ride-hailing and related services. At conferences, executives often use fireside chats to provide updates on product direction, cost management, and how they plan to navigate regulatory and competitive pressures, but Uber’s announcement did not include any such forward-looking details.

The company’s statement names Khosrowshahi as the featured speaker and ties the appearance to the conference’s keynote session, a format that commonly allows for guided conversation rather than a formal prepared address. Fireside chats usually cover a broad range of business themes, including customer adoption and marketplace dynamics, but the release itself did not provide a list of agenda items.

Beyond confirming who will speak and when the keynote session is scheduled to occur, Uber did not disclose additional specifics in the published posting, such as whether the conversation will include financial targets, service metrics, or updates on new initiatives. It also did not indicate whether the discussion will be accompanied by supporting materials or follow-on meetings for investors.

In the absence of more detail, the practical takeaway is that Uber management is choosing a high-visibility capital-markets setting to engage directly with investors and analysts. The company may use the session to reinforce its narrative around technology and platform execution, especially as the broader mobility and on-demand delivery category continues to evolve.

What to watch next is whether Uber or Goldman Sachs later publishes a more detailed conference agenda, including confirmed themes, moderator identity, or a transcript and video of the keynote session. Investors will likely look for any quantitative commentary from the conversation, and for indications of how Uber expects to balance growth priorities with cost discipline.

Why It Matters

  • The keynote appearance puts Uber’s leadership directly in front of investors focused on how technology platforms scale and compete in communications-adjacent consumer markets.
  • Fireside chats often function as a forum for management to frame strategy and execution, which can influence near-term investor expectations even without formal guidance.
  • Because Uber did not outline topics in the announcement, the value for markets will hinge on what management chooses to emphasize during the conversation.
