Keynote | Where the Smart Money Runs Next: AI-Driven Discovery: How Value Chains Reveal the Next Trillion-Dollar Opportunities

30 January 2026

Location: Silver Pearl Ballroom

In this high-impact and entertaining keynote, bestselling author and disruption expert Jay Samit reveals how AI is transforming value chains across every industry—quietly shifting where value is created, where risk accumulates, and where entirely new opportunities emerge. Drawing on the same disruption frameworks that helped him launch billion-dollar businesses, Samit shows leaders how to use AI not just as a tool for efficiency, but as a powerful lens for discovery. By breaking industries into their component parts, audiences learn how to spot hidden friction, unmet needs, and emerging demand long before competitors do. Using these same principles, everyone will learn the 12 truths to disrupt their own internal value chains to grow and thrive in their own careers (and never be replaced by AI).
