AI Thought Leadership Summit - SILICON VALLEY 2025
There are many summits, but only a few go beyond networking to fuel conversations that change the future and how leaders connect. Unlike other gatherings, this one is designed to bring CxOs and Founders together in an immersive panel setting. The focus is on moving beyond surface-level conversations to explore the deeper purpose, mission, and vision of entrepreneurship and global company building. Senior CxOs of multinational organizations - who lead large teams and navigate complex challenges - will share their wisdom, insights, and lessons learned. In doing so, they provide founders with guidance, perspective, and practical advice to help accelerate growth and achieve transformative, 10x outcomes.
150+ CxOs, VCs, and Founders from the Bay Area, UK, India, and the rest of the world will be in attendance.
Join us to immerse yourself in panel discussions led by experts and an engaging workshop guided by the Master Workshop Facilitator, Dr. Michael Lewrick.
