Keynote Session: Autonomous Everything: AI, the Future, and What We Can Do About It

2:30 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. ET

Greg Lindsay

Greg Lindsay, Author and Futurist

The robots are coming — not to steal your job, but to invent entirely new ones. Recent advances in artificial intelligence such as OpenAI's ChatGPT coupled with automation point toward an increasingly autonomous world in which agency and personality is embedded in thinking machines. Autonomy will not only transform how and why we work, but also how we think, discover, decide, and even deceive ourselves. What we imagine and produce — along with how we sell it — will take strange new twists and turns as AI increasingly predict, suggest and convince us do it. In this wide-ranging and eye-opening talk on the promise and perils of cutting-edge AI, author and futurist Greg Lindsay explores how autonomy is already upending society, and what we can learn from organizations such as NATO, the U.S. military, and the Secret Service about what to do about it.

Analyzing Industrial Capital Market Trends

4 p.m. - 5 p.m. ET

The industrial sector has seen incredible growth and appreciation over the last number of years, even during the pandemic, yet many of the positive market forces have recently shifted. How can investors, developers and service providers position themselves for the future in today’s environment? If there’s capital to be deployed into the industrial asset class, where is it headed and why? How could external forces such as the Federal Reserve’s policy, the U.S. presidential election, and potential global events shape the industrial capital markets in the next 12-24 months? Our speakers will examine these critical questions and more.
