What to expect
A daylong executive conversation
This is not a traditional conference built around disconnected presentations and one-way communication. The Deepfake Summit is a daylong executive conversation.
Everyone in the room contributes, challenges assumptions, advances ideas, and strengthens the relationships critical to driving the future of digital trust.
Curated, not crowdsourced
The agenda is curated, not crowdsourced.
Each keynote, fireside conversation, and Summit Dialogue builds on the discussions that precede it.
The interactive format brings speakers and participants together across silos and sectors in candid conversation, informed debate and practical collaboration.
Sponsors can’t buy content or speaking slots.
How the room works
No spectators. Only participants.
Standing microphones are available to every participant, who can engage with speakers at any time. No waiting until the end for questions, or even an invitation to ask them.
The stage is not for sale. Speakers are chosen for what they know and what they can add to the conversation, and every one of them is screened.
Panels are limited to four panelists and led by highly experienced moderators, so there is time for real depth and for the room to weigh in.
Panels bring together experts whose experience spans silos and sectors: fraud, identity, payments, AI, government and policy.
Use what you hear, but don't attribute it. That is what keeps the conversation honest.
Working sessions for taking on real problems together, alongside the main program.
What we ask of you
Come ready to take part.
- Step up to the mic. Questions, pushback and your own experience are what make the day work.
- Share candidly, and respect the Chatham House Rule.
- Meet people outside your own sector. The relationships that matter most often start with someone you would not otherwise meet.
- Stay for the whole day, including the evening reception, where the conversation keeps going.
What you take away
Insight you can act on, and the people to act on it with.
