Alpha Accelerate: The AI Growth and Governance Summit
Alpha's Accelerate is where leading directors and executives connect with technology innovators to shape the future of AI growth and governance. An impactful day of intelligent insights, practical frameworks, and meaningful connections with thought leaders and industry operators.
Where Technology Leaders and Board Directors Shape the Future of AI Governance
On November 19 at Nasdaq MarketSite, we're bridging the critical gap between AI innovation and corporate oversight. While 95% of companies invest in AI, only 34% have governance frameworks in place. Alpha Accelerate brings together the builders, researchers, and executives defining what responsible AI adoption looks like in the boardroom and C-suite.
This isn't another AI hype event. You'll hear directly from technology leaders at companies like Anthropic, ElevenLabs, and Factory alongside board directors from Adobe, Coca-Cola, Intuit, Mattel, and SoFi who are navigating AI deployment at scale.
