The advancing speed, scale, and sophistication of new technologies and data capabilities that aid or disrupt our interconnected world are unprecedented. While generations have relied consistently on technologies and tools to improve societies, we now are in an era where new technologies and data reshape societies and geopolitics in novel and even unanticipated ways. We live in a world where networks that span both sectors and technical disciplines trump specialized expertise in organizations or communities. To lead, do, and adapt effectively to our changing world – organizations and communities must seek multi-faceted strategic direction, advice, and action to thrive and scale effectively for the turbulent decade ahead. 

This lively panel - streaming to you from Washington, D.C. - will discuss the bipartisan recommendations of the recent Commission on the Geopolitical Impacts of New Technologies and Data and associated report www.atlanticcouncil.org/geotechreport to include what C-suite leaders should be tracking in terms of possible upcoming legislation and funding from D.C., policy actions internationally, as well as how advances in tech are impacting cybersecurity, ransomware, synthetic biology, agritech, commercial space operations, and "data for good" efforts around the world.
