Exiger and Axios Host 'Building The Future - AI, Trade, and the New Rules of Power'

Exiger and Axios will co-host a high-profile summit titled “Building the Future: AI, Trade, and the New Rules of Power” at the InterContinental Hotel in Washington, D.C. This invitation-only event will bring together senior policymakers, defense officials, and industry leaders to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping global trade, national security, and supply chain resilience. The summit will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions on topics such as defense innovation and healthcare supply chains, with a focus on the transformative impact of AI on these sectors.
Notable speakers include U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Representative John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), and Bayer CEO Bill Anderson. These leaders will provide insights into the evolving geopolitical landscape, the role of AI in securing critical infrastructure, and strategies for maintaining economic competitiveness in an increasingly digital world. The event aims to foster dialogue between the public and private sectors on navigating the challenges and opportunities presented by rapid technological advancements.
Following the summit, Exiger will co-sponsor the “Wear Blue: Run to Remember” event on May 22, in partnership with With Honor and bipartisan veteran members of Congress. This run/walk, starting at the Washington Monument, honors the service and sacrifice of American military personnel ahead of Memorial Day. Participants are encouraged to wear blue to show their support. This initiative underscores the event's broader commitment to national service and the integration of technological innovation with public service values.
