## Agenda & Seminars:

`11:00 AM - 4:30 PM`

### Exhibitor Floor, Networking & Headshots

Explore innovative tech solutions and network with 1,000+ professionals

`11:30 AM - 12:00 PM`

### AI, Curiosity, and Entrepreneurship

David Lefer
AI is most useful when people ask the right questions. And the key to asking great questions depends on having curiosity, or as researchers call it, a high Need for Cognition (NFC). But only certain forms of curiosity lead to effective questions. For entrepreneurs especially, learning how to ask the right questions is critical.

`12:15 PM - 12:45 PM`

### AI and the Future of Cybersecurity

Michaela Lee
As AI shifts from passive tools to autonomous "agents" capable of real-time decision-making, the traditional cybersecurity models are changing. This session will examine the intersection of technology and public policy, highlight the difficulties of securing hyperconnected environments against automated threats, and explore how we can build systemic resilience into New York's digital infrastructure.

`1:00 PM - 1:30 PM`

### The AI-Native PM: From Prompting to Orchestration

Greg Spektor
In this talk, we move beyond the hype of basic generative tools to explore the evolution of the AI-Native Product Manager in 2026. As the traditional tasks of drafting requirements and synthesizing feedback become automated commodities, the modern PM must shift from manual execution to strategic orchestration. We will examine how to leverage agentic workflows to reclaim hours of the work week, transform raw customer data into a proprietary "intelligence layer," and build the competitive moats necessary to survive in an era of rapid AI commoditization.

`1:45 PM - 2:15 PM`

### IP in the AI era. Saving Our Voices from the Generative Void

Jaime Schwarz
For decades, we’ve given platforms broad rights to our content in exchange for access. Now AI is doing the same at a much larger scale — training on our voices, work, and ideas. The real question isn’t whether AI will reshape creative work, but whether creators will retain any rights. The music industry offers a model: rights, licensing, royalties, and attribution. This talk explores building a similar IP Economy — one based on ownership and compensation, not extraction — while there’s still time to shape it.

`2:30 PM - 3:00 PM`

### Storytelling as Infrastructure: Technology for Social Impact

Benedict Hadley
This session explores how storytelling can function as more than narrative—serving instead as a foundation for designing and deploying technology that addresses real social challenges. It examines how film, media, and immersive experiences can act as catalysts for innovation, translating cultural insight into practical systems that improve equity, access, and community outcomes.

`3:15 PM - 3:45 PM`

### Why AI Broke Identity (and what replaces it)

Jesse Tayler
AI made forgery cheap and perfect. This talk shows the shift from authority-driven identity to community-driven identity trust: We show how anchoring digital properties, and separating out the identity portion of an account replaces disputes, reviews and guesswork—so platforms push responsibility back to the rightful owner and members enjoy benefits
