NASDAQ International Go-To-Market Bootcamp 2026

The Third Annual Conference on AI, Ethics, and Governance will once again convene global leaders across technology, business, policy, academia, and civil society to examine the profound and far-reaching impact of artificial intelligence (AI). Building on prior years, this year’s conference places a heightened emphasis on ethics and the transformative nature of AI.
AI has moved beyond experimentation into a foundational force driving decision-making, innovation, and societal change. As capabilities accelerate, the implications are no longer limited to productivity gains, but extend to fundamental questions around human dignity, trust, equity, and the long-term trajectory of global society. This conference is designed to address these questions and discuss how AI will impact not only today’s institutions, but generations to come.
This event draws inspiration from the ethical leadership of Pope Francis and the urgent calls for discernment from Pope Leo XIV, who warned that AI risks "invading the deepest level of communication—that of human relationships." He has also emphasized that AI presents not merely a technological challenge, but an “anthropological” one—raising fundamental questions about what it means to be human and how society preserves authentic relationships, creativity, and moral responsibility in an age of intelligent machines.
The conference will examine these themes through a series of focused sessions, including:
<ul>
<li>Investing in Our AI Future – examining the role of capital allocation, incentives, and long-term value creation in shaping responsible AI innovation</li>
<li>The Energy of AI: Infrastructure, Stewardship, and the Common Good – addressing the growing demands AI places on energy systems and the balance between technological advancement and sustainable stewardship</li>
<li>The Beneficial Deployment of AI – highlighting practical approaches to ensuring AI systems deliver positive, equitable outcomes</li>
<li>AI and the Future of Medicine – exploring breakthroughs, risks, and ethical considerations in healthcare and life sciences</li>
<li>AI and the Future of Work – analyzing how AI is transforming labor markets, skills, and organizational structures</li>
<li>AI, Youth, and Relationships – considering the societal and developmental impacts of AI on younger generations and human connection.</li>
</ul>
In addition to these panels, the conference will include a number of intimate fireside chats with leading AI executives.
Through these conversations, participants from a range of disciplines and regions will have the opportunity to engage in strategic and practical discussions, share emerging best practices, and build connections with peers confronting similar challenges.

Third Annual: Rome Conference on AI, Ethics, and Governance

Wilson Sonsini is proud to sponsor Reindustrialize Summit, a premier gathering bringing together the builders, investors, policymakers, and operators driving the next era of American industrial and technological leadership.
The conference convenes leaders across defense technology, energy infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, AI, robotics, supply chain resilience, and critical infrastructure to explore the technologies and partnerships reshaping the future of industry and national security.
Over the course of the event, attendees will hear from founders, venture capitalists, government leaders, and industry experts through a series of keynote conversations, panels, and networking opportunities focused on scaling frontier technologies, navigating geopolitical and regulatory challenges, and accelerating the reindustrialization of the United States.
