  If the Future is Electric, There’s More to it Than Designing Cool Cars and Trucks 
  **THIS SESSION WILL BE LIVESTREAMED**
  

  Kristen Morrow Johnson ’92 TH’94 Business Operations & Implementation Manager, Ford Pro Charging, Ford Motor Company Interviewed by Bill Helman ’80, member Ford Motor Company board of directors and Advisory Partner, Greylock Ventures
  Auto industry experts say that electric vehicles will account for more than half of U.S. car sales by 2030. Ford has set the goal of becoming the biggest EV maker, but it is about much more than having more electric vehicles in the market. It requires clarity about the best use cases for electric vehicles across passenger, mass transportation, commercial and freight applications—and an ecosystem to support broad adoption. Johnson and Helman speak about the initiatives and strategies at Ford Motor Company to transform electric vehicles from Industrial to Digital products and participate more broadly in ecosystem/ infrastructure investments that are required to build a more sustainable transportation system. 
  Location: Barclay Classroom, Murdough Center
  
  Earth’s Digital Wallet: Is Crypto the Answer for the Sustainable Future of Global Commerce?

  Akin Sawyerr TU’03, Managing Director, Feleman Limited 
  Matt Slaughter, Paul Danos Dean of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth
  Blockchain – the technology powering cryptocurrencies – is set to transform our monetary system. Gartner predicts that 20% of large enterprises will use digital currencies by 2024. What does the future hold for cryptocurrency in the US and around the world? What are the ethical implications? How do you handle economic sanctions in a world of increasing crypto? And why do certain cryptocurrencies create such high energy demands? While the technology is here now, the ethical, regulatory and business strategies are unclear. This panel, led by Dean Matt Slaughter, the Paul Danos Dean of the Tuck School of Business, will examine the interdisciplinary aspects of the global adoption of cryptocurrency.

  Putting Female-driven Innovation at the Center of an Equitable Healthcare System
  

  Richard Barth MD, Geisel School of Medicine, Co-founder of Cairn Surgical Inc. 
  Kaitlin Maier, ’14 TH’15, Cofounder & CEO, Reia  
  Amogha Tadimety GR’20 TH’20, Cofounder & CEO, Nanopath
  Samantha Truex, ’92 TH’93 TU’95 CEO, Upstream Bio
  Moderator:​ Sherri Oberg ’82 TU’86, President and CEO, Particles for Humanity
  As a society, we’ve not advanced the priority that “women’s rights are human rights” —in policy, with investments, or with innovation—and healthcare outcomes prove it. In fact, the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any wealthy nation in the world, more than double the rate among nations with similar levels of income. Beyond maternal healthcare, women typically interact with the healthcare system more often than men, both as patients and as caregivers. Data demonstrates the positive impact of gender equitable policies on women’s health and wellbeing. Yet, women-specific health issues are not addressed on an industry-wide level. This inhibits innovation across all facets of healthcare systems. This panel brings together leaders in science and business who are addressing the innovation gap by delivering healthcare solutions designed specifically for women.
  Location: Cook Auditorium, Murdough Center
  

  Finding the Angels in Our Machines: How Can We Make AI Work for Humanity?
  

  Keith Dunleavy ’91, Founder and CEO, Inovalon, Inc.
  Andrea Reisman Johnson ’91, Cofounder and CEO Rally Reader  
  John Sargent ’93, Founding Partner, BroadReach Group 
  Eugene Santos, Professor of Engineering, Dartmouth
  Moderator: Daniel Rockmore, William H. Neukom 1964 Distinguished Professor of Computational Science
  Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since its first articulation at Dartmouth College in 1956. The technology now touches a range of industries, from business and healthcare to the public sector and defense operations, reducing costs and boosting efficiencies. Despite its broad reach, AI still lacks transparency and comes with inherent biases and ethical challenges. As we move into what’s come to be known as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” how can society enjoy the benefits of AI without the downsides?
  Location: Barclay Classroom, Murdough Center 

• 2:30 - 3:20 p.m.
  
  Earth on the Rocks: What Space Ice Can Teach Us About Life on Our Planet 
  Kevin Hand ’97, Astrobiologist, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab 
  Colin Meyer, Assistant Professor of Engineering, Dartmouth 
  Laura Ray, Myron Tribus Professor of Engineering Innovation, Dartmouth
  Tracy Wolstencroft P’24, former partner Goldman Sachs, former CEO National Geographic 
  How can looking at the Earth from different perspectives shape our view on climate change and open the door for new solutions? Icy worlds, like some moons of Saturn and Jupiter, are a top priority in the planetary science community. These environments open research to the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the habitability of other planets. What can space ice teach us about the current state of our planet and how best to protect it? How can environmentalists, astronomers and policy experts come together to turn these findings into actionable solutions?
  Location: Barclay Classroom, Murdough Center
  
  Prêt-à-porter? Is Wearable Health Tech the Panacea for Better Outcomes?

  David Kotz ’86, Provost, the Pat and John Rosenwald Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and the Director of Emerging Technologies and Data Analytics in the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health
  Maria Nyamukuru TH’24, PhD candidate
  The technology we wear has the potential to save our lives. However, there are privacy concerns that come with sharing data and personal information. How can scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs and policy experts collaborate to deliver better patient outcomes? Wearable technology experts will explore the industry’s latest innovations and the ethical concerns preoccupying the space.

  Confronting the Climate Crisis: The Sustainability Triangle 
  Annie McLane Kuster ’78, United States Representative
  Abby Hopper ’93, President and CEO, Solar Energy Industries Association 
  Aly Jeddy ’93, Senior Partner and Consultant, McKinsey & Company  
  Moderator: Dan Reicher ’78, former US Assistant Secretary of Energy
  Technology, policy, and finance are interdependent in the fight against climate change. Each element of this “sustainability triangle” is essential but not sufficient to address the climate crisis. Technology must be broad—from energy efficiency, renewables, and storage, to natural gas, carbon capture, and advanced nuclear. Finance must be vast—with investments in the tens of trillions of dollars over the next three decades. And policy must be smart—implemented at the local, state, national, and international levels. In order to accelerate the speed and scale of our efforts to combat climate change, we must push hard to integrate all three elements of the sustainability triangle across the electricity, transportation, building and industrial sectors. 
  Location: Cook Auditorium, Murdough Center
