Big Tech at a Crossroads: Power, Policy, and Global Impact

Technology is no longer just about innovation—it has become a defining force in global politics, economics, and society. From the ongoing debates around the TikTok deal to the shifting rules on H1B visas, the intersection of government and Big Tech is shaping the future of talent, security, and digital influence. Add to this the White House’s increasing engagement with tech leaders and the landmark court decision involving Google, and it is clear that we are at a turning point in how technology and policy collide. This session will dive into these developments, exploring not only their immediate impact but also what they reveal about the broader trajectory of tech power in the world.

Our speaker, Roman Blagoveščenskij, brings a unique perspective to this conversation. Having closely followed both the policy debates and the corporate dynamics shaping Big Tech, Roman will unpack the significance of these shifts in a clear and engaging way. His insights will help us better understand the tensions between innovation and regulation, global competition and national security, as well as the challenges ahead for governments, companies, and individuals navigating this new digital age.
