On October 22nd and 23rd, 2012, at the TIME Conference Center in New York City, many of the most innovative people and organizations in the science and technology joined together for an historic gathering - the 2012 World Technology Summit & Awards - to celebrate each other's accomplishments; to explore what is imminent, possible, and important in and around emerging technologies; and to create the kinds of serendipitous relationships that create the future.

The majority of Summit participants are either current WTN members (primarily winners/finalists from previous World Technology Awards cycles, as selected by their peers as those doing the innovative work of "the greatest likely long-term significance") or 2012 World Technology Award nominees. A combination of keynote talks, panel discussions, and breakout sessions and career-altering networking opportunities over both days concluded with a gala black-tie Awards ceremony on the second night of the event. concluding with a gala black-tie Awards ceremony on the second night of the event.
