What you likely need
You sit at the intersection of law, government, and Big Tech policy in a way almost no one else does, so the highest-value Festival events for you are the ones that put you in a room with other senior policy executives, govtech founders, and board-ready operators who need exactly your profile. You'll get the most out of intimate dinners and roundtables where your Deputy USTR and Google VP credentials open doors to board seats, angel deals, and coalition-building rather than generic networking nights. Think less 'conference panel' and more 'eight people who shape AI regulation globally, off the record, over dinner.'
