The Coming Disruption AI-First Summit

“AI touches every fabric of society – there’s no escaping it. Organizations who do not embrace and adapt to the change, will get left behind,” said Voccola. “It is the most disruptive and powerful force in human history – it will transform the way we think, live, govern, invest and work.”

Voccola, who has led billion-dollar companies through every major technological shift, and penned the bestseller, The Coming Disruption: How AI First Will Force Organizations to Change Everything or Face Destruction, opted to host the Summit in Miami because he’s a long-time supporter of the city’s tech ecosystem. He is known for starting and scaling multiple technology companies in Miami and working with local institutions to grow and develop the Miami technology ecosystem. “Fred Voccola’s vision aligns perfectly with the spirit of Miami – fast, fearless and entrepreneurial,” said Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez and panelist.

The Summit will feature several panels and fireside chats that tackle AI’s impact across industries, including technology, healthcare, energy, financial services, infrastructure, retail and global brands. Public-sector and academic leaders will also discuss the next generation of education and workforce development.

Panel discussions include:

• Higher education & AI
• Disrupting industries: AI in software
• The moat killer: Investor’s viewpoint on AI
• Disruption within: Internal transformation from AI
• Energy, infrastructure & public policy in the AI-First world

“AI is the global gamechanger. The rate of change from AI is almost beyond measure. The productive power that AI brings to organizations of all shapes and sizes, and the speed at which it can be leveraged to disrupt, is like nothing the world has ever seen. The organizations who embrace this will thrive to levels never imagined, and those who do not will simply not exist. And unlike other transformations humanity has experienced that took decades for the full impact to be felt (electricity, the internet, computing, etc.), the full impact of the disruption of AI will be felt over several years.”
