Twenty seven political leaders from across seven congressional districts will be in attendance as well as representatives from 5 federal committees, including; the House Judiciary Committee, House Ways and Means, Senate Help Committee, House Energy and Commerce, and House Science and Small Business Committee. Attendees will be briefed on topics such as how artificial intelligence will shape our future, why cybersecurity breaches like the Equifax hack continue to happen (including a live demo of the Equifax hack), and how design thinking and behavioral psychology influences the way we consume technology.
