Welcome to the Agentic Future!
Artificial intelligence is crossing a threshold. Systems are no longer limited to generating insights or assisting human decisions, they are beginning to act independently, coordinate with other systems, and execute complex workflows. This shift from assistive AI to autonomous, agent-driven systems is changing how organizations operate, how power is distributed, and how accountability is defined. As autonomy increases, questions of governance, trust, risk, and control become unavoidable. The institutions that engage with these questions now will shape how autonomous AI is deployed responsibly and at scale.
Come join AI leaders from around the world who are shaping the autonomous future.

250 Days for 250 Years - A Global Celebration of american history
Join Daniel Shakhani and acclaimed actor Kelsey Grammer for the launch of the "250 Days for 250 Years" initiative, now presented as a blueprint for global civic renewal. While inspired by America's upcoming Semiquincentennial, this session explores how the model can be adapted by any nation seeking to strengthen its social fabric.
We will move beyond celebration to focus on the practical mechanisms of civic activation: how to unite communities, empower local leaders, and inspire a renewed sense of shared purpose in an era of global fragmentation. Together, the panel will explore how values, faith, data, culture, and diplomacy intersect — and how societies can rebuild trust, meaning, and cohesion at a defining moment in history.

World-Renowned Spiritual Leader takes us on a transformative session on finding joy and stillness amidst the chaos. H.E. Rinpoche will share timeless wisdom and practical techniques for grounding yourself in the present moment, allowing you to access a wellspring of tranquility that is your birthright.
This session is also a window into a monumental vision for global harmony. Rinpoche will introduce his ambitious project, the Universal Peace Sanctuary in Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. This majestic $35 million sanctuary, crafted from white marble and dedicated to Queen Mayadevi, is designed to be a beacon of unity and a place where world leaders can gather to genuinely restore peace through dialogue. Its mission is to make peace more fashionable than war.

The AFT is a union of professionals that champions fairness; democracy; economic opportunity; and high-quality public education, healthcare and public services for our students, their families and our communities. We are committed to advancing these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through the work our members do.
We will explore:

The New Ambitions: Beyond diplomacy, how are the Accords now being leveraged for security coordination, technology partnerships, and economic resilience in an unstable world?
Join us for a refresh on the Abraham Accords—not as they were dreamed, but as they must be rebuilt for a new and more challenging reality.

The Digital Refinery: Powering the AI Revolution with Waste Energy
The AI boom is creating an unprecedented demand for energy, threatening to undermine global climate goals. But what if the fuel for the intelligence economy could be found in the waste of the old one? This session features Crusoe AI, the pioneering company building modular data centers at oil and gas well sites to convert wasted methane into clean energy for AI computation. Join us for a forward-looking discussion on how this "digital refinery" model is creating a new blueprint for sustainable AI infrastructure, turning an environmental liability into a strategic asset and forging a path for exponential technological growth that aligns with planetary health.

From Automation to Amplification: Measuring Human Capital in the AI Era
As organizations move beyond automating tasks to augmenting human potential, a critical challenge emerges: how to measure the ROI of human-AI collaboration. This session introduces the Human Amplification Index™, a pioneering framework designed to translate AI integration into quantifiable workforce outcomes. Leaders will explore how this new metric can inform talent strategy, drive productivity, and shape a future where technology amplifies, rather than replaces, human capital, ensuring inclusive growth in the intelligent economy.

Financial Wellness & The Next Generation of Wealth
We are currently witnessing the largest wealth transfer in human history, with an estimated $84 trillion expected to change hands and pass down to younger generations through 2045. As Gen Z enters the workforce, the definition of wealth is shifting, yet many are arriving with little to no knowledge on how to invest or manage their money.
This session explores how young investors can bridge that gap by learning to navigate private market access and build sustainable passive income. We will address the critical journey from fear to financial freedom, arming the next generation with the financial literacy needed to thrive in this new economic landscape. Through short, dynamic talks, we will hear from young investors sharing their personal experiences and innovative ideas on how to "share the wealth" and democratize opportunity.

This panel brings together the pioneers at Hofseth Biocare to discuss the commercialization of bioactive peptides for preventative healthcare and longevity. We will explore the critical convergence of three trends: the global demand for sustainable resources, the economic imperative of preventative health, and the scientific validation of peptide-based therapies. Learn how a unique Norwegian model of vertical integration and pristine sourcing is creating a scalable, ethical, and powerful new category in the wellness industry, and what it means for the future of medicine.

EXCLUSIVE ABRAHAM HOUSE:
TomorrowToday Live - obsolescence of nations
"The Benevolent Obsolescence"
Core Question: If an AI could solve all our problems better than any government, should we let it rule us?
Imagine an AI that actually works. Not dystopian, not broken - genuinely beneficial. It solves climate change, eliminates poverty, prevents wars, distributes resources perfectly. It's fair, incorruptible, infinitely patient, and optimizes for human wellbeing better than any democracy ever could.
Now the uncomfortable part: it doesn't need your country. It doesn't need borders, politicians, national interests, or sovereignty. It just... works. Globally. Instantly.
Would you give up your nation for a better world? Or would you rather keep your flag, your identity, your autonomy - even if it means worse outcomes for everyone?
That's not a future question. Tech platforms already govern more of your daily life than your government does. AI already makes better decisions than bureaucracies in healthcare, logistics, finance. We're just not admitting what's already happening.

Opening Keynote on Global Leadership: Freeing the Middle East from the Logic of Hatred – A Blueprint for Resilience and Hope
In a world of geopolitical fracture, Frank Melloul argues that the Middle East offers a blueprint for resilience and hope. Confronting the tensions of 2026 head-on, he explores how "influence diplomacy"—mobilizing media, culture, and shared economic interests—can overcome entrenched divides. Aligning with the WEF theme of "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age," this session makes the case that true security is built not on isolation, but on the bridges of trust and cooperation we construct in the eye of the storm.

BRAVE NEW WORLD: Passive Income, Gen Z & the Great Wealth Transfer
The largest transfer of wealth in history is underway — but most of the next generation is still locked out of meaningful ways to build passive income, financial resilience, and long-term security.
Abraham House is built on the belief that sustainable prosperitty leads to peace and that young people need access to income-producing assets, transparent systems, and new inclusive tools so they can focus on building a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
This session explores how new financial infrastructure — from tokenization to decentralized platforms with global reach — can help open the doors to financial wellness for millions who were never invited into traditional wealth-building models.
Bringing together builders of next-generation financial systems and Gen Z leaders shaping new expectations around money, ownership, and opportunity, the discussion will focus on impact and currently available solutions.
How can GenZ have access to real passive income?
How can technology responsibly widen access without creating new risks?
What role do platforms like Telegram play in reaching a global, underserved generation?
How do we design systems that improve people’s lives?
This is a practical, forward-looking conversation about how the great wealth transfer can become a moment of inclusion, not a missed opportunity.

Trade, investment and economic resilience in a fragmented world
In a world increasingly defined by fragmentation and geopolitical tension, new alliances are emerging that promise to reshape the global economic landscape. This panel brings together two key figures at the heart of a groundbreaking development: Israel's recent recognition of Somaliland. This historic move opens unprecedented opportunities for trade, investment, and economic cooperation between the Middle East and the Horn of Africa.
Against the backdrop of a fragmented world, this panel will explore how strategic partnerships can foster economic resilience and drive sustainable growth. We will delve into the geopolitical significance of this recognition, the potential for bilateral trade agreements, and the investment opportunities that lie ahead.

Human Trafficking: The Silent Pandemic
The shadow economy that dwarfs some of the world's most powerful industries. Human trafficking is a modern-day plague enslaving an estimated 50 million people worldwide—a number greater than the entire population of Spain. It generates over $150 billion in illegal profits annually, making it more profitable than the global drug trade. This is the single largest economic violation of human rights on Earth.
In this unflinching session, Ambassador Michel Veuthey, a leading global authority on the issue, will present the staggering human cost of this scourge. We will move beyond statistics to hear a firsthand account from an anonymous survivor, providing a powerful testimony of survival and resilience.

Small Gestures, Global Impact: It'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE
In a world facing overwhelming challenges, where does hope begin? It begins with one person, one idea, one team, and one unwavering objective.
Join us for an inspiring session with Bernhard Kowatsch, the visionary head of the WFP Innovation Accelerator. He will walk us through the blueprint that turns a single gesture into a new reality for humanity. Bernhard will announce a landmark moment for this philosophy—the 300 millionth meal served through the ShareTheMeal app—proving that a small act of compassion, when multiplied, can change the world.
He will then reveal how this same blueprint is being applied on the front lines of disaster zones, where groundbreaking AI and blockchain projects are creating new lifelines for those who have lost everything. This is more than a story of innovation; it is a masterclass in how to keep hope alive and a powerful reminder that the most audacious dreams for humanity often start with the simplest of gestures.
Following his talk, Bernhard will be interviewed on stage to discuss how this blueprint can be replicated across sectors to build a more hopeful and resilient future

The Pacific Divide: The Other Side of the Chip War
The US banned chips and celebrated a decisive victory. But what if the real battle was never about hardware? What if, while we were watching silicon, something else was being built? A parallel digital world. Infrastructure without safeguards. Lock-in by design.
In this fireside chat, Michael Casey interviews Russ Wilcox to reveal the unseen side of the chip war. Drawing on Wilcox’s experience briefing the National Security Council and his deep analysis of China’s AI strategy, they will discuss why what we’re not talking about may matter more than what we are. Join us for a critical look at the hidden architecture of the future and the silent battles being fought over the digital soul of the world.

AI, Crypto & Digital Surveillance: Power, Trust and Human Rights
For the first time, two sitting presidents — Rodrigo Paz (Bolivia) and Vít Jedlička (Liberland) — take the stage to explain why they are embracing crypto and decentralized technologies at the highest level of government.
As trust in institutions erodes worldwide, they confront a defining question:
can technology restore transparency, accountability, and citizen participation — or will it accelerate democratic decline and surveillance?
At Davos, where the future is often debated in theory, this conversation brings it into reality: heads of state openly questioning whether democracy can survive without profound technological change.
Joining the panel is Brittany Kaiser, adding a critical perspective on power, data, and human rights.
In tech we trust? You decide.
This conversation sets the tone for the evening — and for the next chapter of global governance.

From Scrolling to Creating: Solving the Digital Addiction Crisis
We are facing a digital addiction pandemic. Students are glued to screens for hours a day, their attention spans fractured and their mental health suffering. For parents and teachers, the constant battle to pry kids away from phones feels like a losing fight. But what if we didn't just fight the technology? What if we harnessed it?
Join Christoph A. Geiseler, founder of the Seenfire Foundation, to discover how to turn this problem into a solution. Christoph introduces the One Minute Academy, a program that transforms passive consumers into active creators. Instead of mindless scrolling, students learn to master the art of the one-minute story—distilling complex thoughts into clear, focused narratives.
This session offers a roadmap for educators and parents to reclaim attention. By shifting the focus from consumption to creation, we can use the same devices that distract us to build focus, intention, and genuine communication skills. Learn how to turn the screen from an enemy into a tool for empowerment.
