Panel Discussions

### Panel 1: Digital infrastructure for the AI era - Forging trusted decentralized systems for the digital-first world

Moderated by Juilan Gordon, VP Asia Pacific & Middle East, LF Decentralized Trust

• The move to a decentralized, digital-first world presents challenges and opportunities
• Success means modernizing both public and private infrastructure, which requires working openly and collaboratively to ensure scale, security and interoperability across new digital systems.
• Julian Gordon will lead a discussion with technology leaders on how they are leveraging open development and governance to build trusted new systems that are reshaping the economy in the AI era - with a focus on Verifiable AI, digital identity, proof of personhood and data portability.
• Speakers will share specifics on their work to modernize digital identity, payments, supply chain resilience, economic inclusion and more.

### Panel 2: How Web3 is contributing to and accelerating trusted decentralized technologies in the agentic era

Moderated by Art Abal, Managing Director, Vana Foundation

• Wallets already let millions of people hold their own keys, sign for themselves and prove what they own without asking anyone's permission.
• Can the same building blocks, self-custody, smart accounts, onchain permissions and verifiable credentials, let a person give an AI agent limited, revocable authority to act for them, with a record an institution can check?
• And what would wallets and developers need to ship for a bank, a hospital or a government to accept a request that comes from an agent?

Why Korea 🇰🇷

​Korea is a leader in decentralized technologies and open source, and has already experimented with digital identity, CBDCs, digital assets, tokenized deposits, data portability, institutional blockchain infrastructure and consumer wallets at significant scale.

​The experiments are happening - and pilots are becoming shared infrastructure that institutions can build on and people can trust.

​These developments become even more important in the age of AI. AI agents depend on data, identity, permissions and the ability to act on behalf of a person or organization. Who controls that data? Who gives permission? How is consent verified? And what infrastructure sits underneath it all?

​That’s what we want to explore in Seoul - featuring the people and organizations building what’s next.
