OVERVIEW
The AI economy has moved fast enough that its exposure — financial, technological, and political — is now as significant as its promise. But each of these pressure points could also herald the next wave of innovations. The question now is who manages the risks well enough to capture the advantages of the technology.
The Convergence Series: Washington, D.C. brings together a small, invitation-only group of policy experts and business leaders for a focused conversation about where the AI build-out is most exposed — and where that exposure creates room to lead.
PURPOSE
Held under Chatham House Rule, Convergence Salons offer an intimate, invitation-only forum for innovation-focused leaders to explore new ideas at the intersection of capital, policy, and industry — and to build the relationships that will shape the next industrial era.
The purpose of this event is to create a candid, off-the-record space for a small group of principals to exchange views on the business and policy decisions that will define the next phase of the AI build-out.
THEMES
- Market Confidence: Valuation Risk and Investment Discipline
What a correction in hyperscaler valuations would mean for the broader build-out — and how market scrutiny is speeding the maturation of AI financing. - Cyber Risk and the Case for Resilience
The cybersecurity exposure created by AI systems themselves, and the opportunity for the U.S. to lead on the standards, safeguards, and resilience architecture that make large-scale AI deployment trustworthy. - License to Compute
How to achieve greater social license and mitigate the political risks of the AI buildout.
STRUCTURE
Networking, discussions, and dinner at an exclusive venue: The salon runs from 5:30 – 9:30 pm at a prestigious D.C. venue.
Exclusive audience: Limited to a maximum of 40 senior decision-makers from large, innovative corporations, institutions, and professional services firms.
High-caliber speakers: A 60-minute interactive fireside chat with recognized thought leaders.
Intimate roundtable discussion: A 90-minute, Chatham House Rule discussion over dinner, featuring structured and facilitated debate. Tables are strictly limited, with a thought leader moderating each conversation, guided by pre-set discussion points.
High-value networking: Focused receptions before and after the dinner to facilitate targeted peer connections among senior executives.
