22 Years of Transforming the Way the World Works

✨Welcome to the latest edition of the LinkedIn Life Newsletter! ✨

Each month, we bring you the inside scoop on all things LinkedIn, including our culture, the work we do, events, and news.

This May, we marked 22 years of transforming the way the world works at LinkedIn. It's been a journey shaped by our team, our members and our mission.

Over these last two decades, our employees and 1+ billion global members have helped shape a platform where 10,000+ members apply for jobs, over 16,000+ new connections are made, and 90+ people update their profile with a new role every minute.

From the beginning, LinkedIn’s mission has been to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. That mission still guides us today as we continue our work to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.

We're proud of this impact and we're continuing to build for what's next.

Reimagining What’s Next in Tech at LinkedIn’s R&D Summit

At this year’s R&D Summit, product and engineering leaders from across LinkedIn came together to challenge assumptions, push boundaries, and imagine what’s next.

From thought-provoking conversations with leaders like Kevin Hou of Windsurf AI and Dr. Fei-Fei Li, to hands-on innovation at the Vibe Coding Hackathon, the week was packed with inspiration.

One highlight? Attendees explored a next-gen development environment - an agentic IDE that acts like a creative partner to help attendees explore what we can build when we let ourselves dream big.
