Emerging Tech for Social Good Summit
Join us for the Emerging Tech for Social Good Summit, a convening of innovators, lawyers, policy advisers, and public-sector leaders exploring how emerging technologies, such AI and the decentralized web, can be governed and deployed in service of the public good.
As federal agencies write rules and adopt new technologies amid evolving and uneven legal frameworks, this Summit will examine how policymakers can respond to both the promise and risks of innovation, especially for communities most affected but least represented in tech governance.
🗣️ Speakers include leaders from government, corporate, nonprofit, and foundation backgrounds — shining a spotlight on how technology can be leveraged for social good across a wide array of issues.
