Designed to engage, challenge, and empower the next generation of policy leaders, our summit features four distinct programs to maximize your experience.
Our Keynote will guide conversations on how AI is reshaping public policy, its opportunities, its risks, and its transformative potential. They will offer insight into how leaders are navigating rapid technological change and adapting governance frameworks for an AI driven future.
The policy pitch competition will provide students the opportunity to identify gaps in existing policy governance around AI in relation to the spread of misinformation and the use of AI in education. Participants will research a real-world policy challenge, develop an evidence-based policy proposal, and present their solution in a timed pitch format, either individually or as part of a team. Submissions will be evaluated by a panel of industry leaders and policy experts, with participants receiving direct feedback on the feasibility, impact, and innovation of their proposals.
