Which emerging technologies will define the next decade, and which are simply generating headlines?
Join us for a forward-looking session exploring the technologies reshaping business, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence and the innovations poised to transform industries over the next five years. As new technologies emerge at an unprecedented pace, leaders face a critical challenge: distinguishing genuine opportunity from market hype. Led by Steve Weikal, an expert in emerging technologies and innovation, this session will examine which technologies are delivering measurable business value today, which are still maturing, and how company leaders and investors should position themselves in an increasingly dynamic landscape. YPOers will gain a practical framework for evaluating emerging technologies through the lens of commercial viability, operational readiness, and regulatory realities. The discussion will also explore how to identify signals that separate lasting innovation from short-lived trends—helping leaders make more informed decisions about where to invest, when to act, and how to prepare for the competitive shifts ahead.

• See how to distinguish truly transformative technologies from overhyped trends.
• Learn the commercial, operational, and regulatory factors for scaling innovations.
• Identify the technologies most likely to reshape industries over the next five years.
