HELPING TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIES JOIN THE GENERATIVE AI WAVE by Yehoyada Mandeel, CEO at Marzipan Tech

AI, CURIOSITY, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP by David Lefer, Professor at NYU Tandon
AI is most useful when people ask the right questions. And the key to asking great questions depends on having curiosity, or as researchers call it, a high Need for Cognition (NFC). But only certain forms of curiosity lead to effective questions. For entrepreneurs especially, learning how to ask the right questions is critical.
12:00 pm - 12:30 pm
BEYOND CHATBOTS: CONVERSATIONAL AI AS A BUSINESS GAME-CHANGER by Jeff Chapman, Field CTO at Vectara

You’ll gain a clear understanding of regulatory risk, cross-border compliance, and practical steps to future-proof your AI strategy while protecting innovation. This talk is designed to help business leaders lead responsibly in a changing AI landscape.
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
LINKEDIN FOR TECH LEADERS & COMPANIES: TURNING YOUR FEED INTO A FUNNEL by Marie Incontrera, CEO/Founder at Incontrera Consulting LLC

2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
AI AGENTS - THEY'RE EVERYWHERE by Alan Avidan, Founder & CEO at RAMM.ai
Your shopping daemon knows exactly what you need; it scans and finds you a perfect, ethically-sourced, jacket from a brand you love at an awesome price. Your payment agent authorizes the purchase, and signs the ledger. Your social digital twin crows about it - mining referral credits. But your fashion critic agent rolls their eyes: “Charming… though your shoes crash the vibe stack.”
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
WHY SALES TAX MATTERS — HOW AGENTIC TAX AND COMPLIANCE IS CHANGING THE GAME By Tony Stuart, Sales Executive @ Avalara
For technology companies, sales tax isn’t just an accounting issue — it’s a growth and survival issue. Getting it wrong can block expansion, stall funding, or erode trust. But with modern AI compliance solutions, tech firms can stay ahead of complex tax rules, reduce risk, and keep their teams focused on innovation.
