Blockchain and Business Networking | Elevating Your Potential - Boston

Important note: Register on AICamp event website is REQUIRED for admission. The Federate AI Summit is designed for scientists, technologists, and business leaders navigating the complexities of AI adoption and decentralized intelligence within highly regulated environments. As the enterprise landscape shifts toward decentralized architectures, Federated AI has emerged as a strategic imperative. This Summit brings together executive perspectives, technical deep dives, and real-world case studies to explore how to move beyond the constraints of data centralization and the persistent barriers to change management, turning bottlenecks into catalysts for growth. Agenda Tracks ENABLE & TRUST: The Infrastructure and Governance Layer Federated computing only scales if the plumbing and the guardrails are both solid — this track brings the two together. Hear directly from the infrastructure players building the technical backbone of federated systems today, and from the governance leaders navigating sovereignty, cross-border data rules, and the trust requirements enterprises demand before they'll deploy. SCALE & DEPLOY: Enterprise Use Cases Hear from the teams who've actually done it — rolling federated systems out across multiple sites, getting buy-in from skeptical stakeholders, migrating to cloud, running real analyses at scale — across pharma, healthcare, banking, agrotech, cyber defense, and automotive. Learn what worked, what broke, and what it took to get from pilot to production. NEXT: Pushing the Science Forward Where is federated learning actually headed? This track pulls together the researchers pushing the science forward — new approaches and the methods shaping what's possible — alongside scientists sharing real proof-of-concept stories from the field. GROWTH: Market, Capital & Builders Federated computing is proving itself as the future of AI infrastructure — this track is where the money and the builders meet.

When your product is an agent that acts on its own, the legal questions show up earlier and look different. Who owns what the AI produces? Who is liable when an agent makes a decision? What do you need in place before your first customer, your first hire, or your first check? Join FI Boston, Elke Trilla, DLA Piper Startup Lawyer, and her colleague Zack Conrad for a practical session on the legal foundations every AI-native founder should get right from day one: company formation and founder equity, IP ownership in an AI-assisted build, data and privacy, customer contracts, and the liability questions that come with agentic products. DLA Piper is FI Boston's legal sponsor for the Fall 2026 cohort, and is hosting this session at its Boston office. Part of FI Boston's AI-Native Series on building AI-native companies in Boston. Bring your questions. ❯ Guest Speakers include: Elke Trilla (Of Counsel, DLA Piper) Ignacio Castro (Managing Partner, 128vc) Zachary Conrad (Associate, DLA Piper) . ❯❯ This is an in-person event, so be sure to RSVP at https://fi.co/e/406692/meetup to secure your spot and receive further details.
