BroadwaySF and Book Passage have announced ticket sales for a one-night-only conversation featuring Bill Gates on Feb. 11, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, Nov. 1, at 10 a.m. But those looking to snag them early can do so on Oct. 31 with the presale code “GATES.”
Gates, who recently made the news for indirectly backing Kamala Harris’ campaign via a $50 million donation to Future Forward PAC, will sit down with Armchair Expert podcaster Dax Shepard to discuss Gates’ new memoir, Source Code.
In his new book, Gates strays from writing about his endeavors with Microsoft and the Gates Foundation. Instead, he gets personal, exploring relationships with the family, colleagues and friends that shaped him while he was growing up — and what it was like learning to code at the dawn of the computer age.
For someone like Gates, who has never previously endorsed a candidate, or made a political contribution of this size, this unscripted interview could be a chance to understand why more people like him do, or don’t, get involved with elections. The event hopes to offer a glimpse of the person behind the tech mogul, and every ticket holder will also receive a copy of his new memoir, out Feb. 4.
Bill Gates speaks at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre on Feb. 11. Tickets and details here.
