FP’s fourth annual AI Conference – AI Evolution 2026 – is designed for employers navigating the fast-moving reality of artificial intelligence at work. Once again hosted in Washington, D.C., where policymakers are actively shaping the rules of the road, this conference will provide clear guidance on compliance, governance, workforce impact, and smart implementation. You’ll gain practical tools, real-world lessons, and forward-looking insight to help your organization manage risk, capture opportunity, and stay ahead as AI enters its next phase of business transformation.
To kick off our AI Evolution Conference, we’ll examine how AI has evolved from a productivity tool into an intelligence layer that should be embedded across your entire enterprise. This keynote session will explore how forward-looking business leaders no longer think of AI as a technology initiative but as a complete rewiring of how their organizations sense, decide, and act. If you want to understand what that means for your leadership, your structure, and your competitive position, this conversation is for you.
Google is using AI to do amazing things behind the scenes of some of your favorite pastimes. If you watched the Winter Olympics and saw live analysis of athlete performance, or visited the Sphere in Las Vegas to see the mind-blowing presentation of The Wizard of Oz, you were witness to some of their work. Hear from one of Google’s AI leaders about how they do it – and what’s in store next.
Integrating AI into your business means you need to demonstrate leadership and make critical decisions in an ever-evolving and complex area. Our next keynote speaker knows a thing or two about that. Mamta Patel Nagaraja spent over 20 years at NASA in various leadership roles – training astronauts, working in Mission Control, and leading space biology and exploration research efforts. She recently founded Vyoma Science & Engineering, a leading space industry firm. She’ll share practical lessons from the front lines of mission-critical environments to help you lead with confidence when the stakes are highest.
We’re going to break down one of the most troubling trends of our new AI era: pro se plaintiffs using ChatGPT to file lawsuits. We’ve seen a massive spike in litigation across the country thanks to this new phenomenon, leading to increased fees and settlement costs. Our front-line litigators will share their experiences and provide practical tips for businesses combatting this problem.
It’s back! We’re once again bringing you a high-energy, fun, insider look at what you can expect over the next year when it comes to all things DC. Our panelists will make bold predictions and a champion will be crowned, but the real winners will be the audience members who get to hear the inside scoop
AI-generated resumes that don’t tell the truth. Candidates using AI during interviews to sound competent. Deepfake applicants seeking to infiltrate your organization. Listen in on a live taping of the popular FP5 podcast where your hosts discuss these issues and more, and offer some practical tips for navigating this new era of hiring.
It’s critical that you run an AI bias audit to ensure your tech tools don’t unintentionally discriminate against applicants and workers. But what exactly happens in an AI audit? What are they, and what do they look like? You’ll see a live demonstration of an AI bias audit so you can see for yourself the value they can bring.
AI native companies are being market valued higher than incumbents faster than ever – but can you achieve similar results? In this featured keynote address, Professor Birju Shah will separate the signal from the noise by discussing the outcomes that AI can actually achieve. As the former head of Uber’s AI group and part of the foundational team that helped achieve the breakthrough of the transformer architecture that led to this generative AI moment, he’ll provide examples of how he implemented AI at scale for Uber and other companies. His session will show you practical AI implementation examples, while emphasizing how organizations can strategically transform their profit and loss by using AI.
AI has completely transformed the world of coding, collapsing the cost of building custom software to the point where any business (and anyone) can make incredible strides that seemed impossible just a few months ago. This session will feature a live demo where we’ll build a working app right on stage to show you the future.
AI capabilities are doubling roughly every four months, but most businesses are still treating it like a slightly smarter search engine. In this session, we’ll cut through the noise to explain what’s changed, why the gap between early movers and everyone else is already widening, what the shift to autonomous AI agents means for your organization, and what you should be doing today to prepare for tomorrow.
Quantum computing will soon help AI handle certain complex problems even faster, which could change how businesses approach planning, forecasting, and research. Even at an early stage, it’s worth getting a big-picture understanding so you’re not caught off guard as it starts to impact the tools and decisions your business relies on.
