Closing Brainstorm Tech Sessions

It’s been a tough year for many startups, with a funding slowdown and an overall challenging economic backdrop. In light of this reality, how are the dynamics between founders and investors changing? What are some of the best ways VCs are supporting their portfolio companies, and the most effective paths for startups to still access funding? And how do entrepreneurs keep their teams engaged and incentivized, as they themselves deal with mounting challenges? We hear from both founders and investors.
Discussion Leaders:
Christine Moseley, Founder and CEO, Full Harvest
Nadya Okamoto, Co-founder, August
Sarah Pinto, Senior Director, Venture Investing, Emerson Collective
Adam Zeplain, Co-founder and Managing Partner, mark vc

UNLOCKING A.I.’S POTENTIAL

The fall of Silicon Valley Bank and the recent rescue of First Republic Bank have not only challenged long-held assumptions about tech financing and capital markets. They have also paved the way for neobanks and other financial institutions to step up to meet the demand for financing and to provide services to thousands of startups. How are portfolio companies, founders, and bankers themselves responding to a new reality?

TERM SHEET BREAKFAST: INVESTING IN A TUMULTUOUS TECH ENVIRONMENT 
Between layoffs at Silicon Valley’s biggest players, increasing volatile stock prices, and a difficult fundraising market for venture capital funds, it may seem like tech’s reign as king is over. Or is it? Generative A.I. and global opportunities in a reopening world offer opportunities despite the gloom. A deep dive on where, when, and how to invest across a changing tech sector.

DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION IN THE AGE OF A.I.
Hosted by Salesforce
As A.I. continues to offer exciting opportunities for businesses, there’s a growing tension between innovation and the regulatory, ethical, and security risks surrounding the technology. Senior leaders will need to balance innovation against these risks as regulators turn their attention to A.I. and more companies deploy models trained on public and proprietary data—all while being transparent with customers on how their data is used and protected. We explore the ways that senior leaders are using innovations in data, analytics, and A.I. to drive efficient, sustainable growth, mitigate risk, and bolster security.

BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLES I

REBOOTING TECH’S TALENT MARKET 
The U.S. tech sector continues to grow, and it's poised to create thousands—if not millions—of jobs. But recently laid off tech workers are now finding jobs outside of tech. The rapid rise of generative A.I. products and technologies have also created new and in-demand skill sets. And many in tech are organizing to demand more, while others outside tech organize to slow the introduction of A.I. and other technologies. With a new surge in demand on the horizon, how can companies create new norms and deploy new technologies to unleash their workforce’s fullest potential and stay ahead of the competition? And how can tech talent make themselves more marketable to others?

HEALTH CARE’S DIGITAL REVOLUTION
A.I. and other emerging technologies are refashioning every aspect of health care–from new diagnostic tools and devices that can monitor a patient’s health from anywhere, to enterprise solutions that allow health providers to see more patients. And yet, with these advances also come trickle-down challenges: large amounts of data left silo’ed or unorganized; security risks for patients and providers; and the potential to dehumanize the patient experience. In this session, we’ll explore the buzz behind new AI-powered health applications, the slowdown in health tech investing, and what both trends mean for the future of the sector.

As the A.I. arms race plays out, the original tech giants are fiercely competing to steer the direction of an inevitably A.I.-driven future.

GENERATIVE A.I. IS HERE—NOW WHAT?
Hosted by Mizuho Americas
Generative A.I. is changing business at an unprecedented pace, but parallel to the promise of boosts in productivity and innovation run significant risks. As the technology matures, what will be the effect of generative A.I.’s use in the workplace? How will regulation unfold across the globe as governments turn their focus to the blooming technology? Join leaders in generative A.I. to hear where the tech is headed, and discuss the ethical, social, and geopolitical implications of its ability to disrupt whole sectors of business and society.
Discussion Leaders:
Maia Brenner, Co-founder and CEO, Flipando
Gregg Moskowitz, Senior Enterprise Software Equity Research Analyst, Mizuho Americas
Mark Papermaster, Executive Vice President and CTO, Technology and Engineering, AMD

FINTECH AND THE LIMITS OF DISRUPTION  
Fintech hit a high watermark during the pandemic. Now, with a looming recession, venture capital funds drying up, and interest rates rising, the industry risks losing out to the stodgy financial institutions they sought to disrupt. With many fintech companies offering crypto, has the crash dispelled the hype in decentralized currencies and created new challenges for fintech? And despite the headwinds, where are the opportunities for growth and potential collaboration across the sector?

LUNCH ROUNDTABLES I

THE NEW CUSTOMER JOURNEY
Hosted by Salesforce
The explosion of online shopping during the pandemic may be cooling, but the changes brought to the customer journey are here to stay. No matter who the customer is, personalization, flexibility, and streamlined experiences are the new baseline—all built on a foundation of data and analytics. As A.I. upends much of the tech landscape, how are these and other innovative technologies driving a new customer journey? And what does it mean to be an insights-driven business in the current tech landscape?

Amit Patel, CEO and President, Rakuten International
Jim Steele, President, Global Strategic Customer and Partners, Salesforce
Moderator: Michal Lev-Ram, FORTUNE

A CLEAR VIEW OF CLEANTECH 
The weight of investment and regulation is behind the cleantech movement. Governments in the U.S. and Europe are offering subsidies for green industries and the war in Ukraine has had the unintended consequence of speeding up the transition to renewable energy sources. But it’s not all smooth sailing: The war in Ukraine has also spiked the price of oil and gas, and political backlash threatens to derail some cleantech efforts in the U.S. This panel is an honest look at where cleantech and decarbonization efforts are headed and an opportunity to hear from innovative leaders working on scalable solutions across industries and borders.

FROMMER’S GUIDE TO THE NEW CONSUMER

The U.S. secondhand market is presently growing at a much faster rate than general retail and is expected to double by 2026, reaching $82 billion. Much of this growth has been spurred by Gen Z consumers eager to save money and waste less. At the same time, many companies have struggled to benefit from this boom. We’ll hear from two “recommerce” leaders who say they have found the way to capitalize on a growing (and profitable) consumer trend.

VC OUTLOOK

The old saying “disrupt or become disrupted” has become alarmingly clear to those in edtech, where valuations are plunging, and core businesses are becoming obsolete due to the rise of free A.I. tools. How can innovators working across edtech adapt to, and compete with, the rise of these new technologies? To address this challenge, Chegg recently launched its own AI-powered study aid, powered by GPT-4. When students return from their summer break, the competition for A.I.-tutors will ramp up once again, but will Chegg be able to stay ahead of the curve in shaping the next chapter of education?

AHEAD OF THE CURVE: A.I. AND THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

Since January, more than 150,000 tech workers have been laid off, leading many to question whether the tech industry overhired and undermanaged long-term risk. The deployment of generative A.I. raises ethical risks (and regulatory scrutiny) while the fallout from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse continues. With all this in mind, how can we tune out the noise and harness technology as a driver of positive change in the world? If tech companies have infinite potential to innovate, what role should society have in governing the new technologies they create? And to what extent should tech take responsibility for the negative effects that its industry has had on society?

NETWORKING BREAKFAST WITH FORTUNE EDITORS

A.I. is already deeply embedded in every aspect of our daily lives–from how we work, to what we make, where we shop, and how we move from one place to another. Eugenia Kuyda believes that A.I. can also serve as an empathetic friend and “mental wellness” companion to help us cope with and explore human emotions. As our personal lives become more and more intertwined with A.I., where are the boundaries between human-chatbot interaction? And how can we address the ethical dilemmas the technology raises, as well as the potential for emotional fallout?

GETTING PERSONAL

Imagine being able to type, create digital art, and operate a robotic arm – with just your thoughts. Long considered the stuff of sci-fi lore, superhuman abilities are now a reality thanks to the real-world magic of implantable brain computer interfaces (BCIs). While only a few dozen people globally have been implanted with a BCI, that number is expected to multiply, with a new surge of investment in neurotechnology and A.I. How will BCIs enable new forms of communication, embodiment, and creativity? Should this technology be available to everyone? And more importantly, is society ready?

THE WORLD’S FIRST SUPERHUMANS

While the idea of fully driverless cars and taxi services still seems years away, the future of autonomous trucks on the road seems a lot more plausible.

FOREVER YOUNG

No industry is immune to the disruption caused by A.I., especially entertainment. The tech has proven itself capable of creating melodies, writing songs, and playing a key role in the recording and production process. But the use of A.I. technology across the music industry has not come without skepticism or controversy. Alongside the rise of mimicked voices and auto-tuning comes a public debate around the role (and rights) of music makers.  A conversation on the possibilities and the limitations of blending technology with human creativity.
