Summit Kickoff Speaker:

The Future of AI - 
Imagine a future where every cancer patient receives care tailored precisely to their genetic makeup. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, that future is taking shape today.  AI-powered tools are already transforming health care. They enable earlier and more accurate diagnoses, speed up the discovery of new treatments and make precision medicine possible at scale. These same technologies are reshaping essential systems from agriculture and water to national security, mining, energy and climate modeling.  At the University of Arizona, this work is happening now. Learn how faculty and students are using data and AI to address challenges that matter to Arizonans.

Morning Sessions: 

AI-Driven Leadership: Thriving in Turbulent Times -
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry—but success isn’t about the technology itself. It’s about the leaders who know how to use it to create clarity, inspire innovation and earn trust in a time of constant disruption. Author Scott McKain will reveal how entrepreneurs and business leaders can harness AI not to replace people, but to elevate performance and strengthen relationships. Discover how to turn turbulence into opportunity by leading with AI; ways to balance cutting-edge technology with the human touch that customers and employees demand; and a framework for building distinction that ensures your business thrives—even when the marketplace is unpredictable.
