The 4th Annual Ownership Economy Summit, held in New York City, on October 1st, 2026 will bring together a select group of investors, entrepreneurs, policy-makers, and thought leaders. The event will explore the people and ideas behind the technology, economics, and laws that are reimagining how the economy can work for everyone. Panelists and breakout sessions will feature leaders that are constructing a better economy, one based on broad-based ownership and democratic governance. The timing couldn’t be more urgent. AI is transforming who creates - and captures - value. Independent work is outgrowing the traditional safety net. Housing and energy costs are straining communities.
