The Crypto Crossroads: Navigating Roadblocks, Regulation, and Custody in Digital Assets

2:00pm
As the crypto regulatory landscape continues to take shape, enforcement activity is providing the clearest signals for how advisors should approach digital assets. For RIAs—many of whom are increasingly encountering crypto through client portfolios, generational wealth, or inheritance—the challenge isn’t just understanding the rules, but knowing how to act. This panel breaks down what recent enforcement actions mean for RIAs today, with practical guidance on risk, supervision, and client conversations.

I Am Not a Robot

4:00pm
In this funny, no‑jargon keynote, award‑winning journalist and former WSJ tech reporter, Joanna Stern shares what she learned by handing over a year of her life to AI - letting intelligent machines drive her family, manage her health, help raise her kids, and even handle her chores. Drawing on exclusive reporting with tech leaders and her own “human lab rat” experiments, she cuts through the hype to show where AI genuinely makes life and work better, where it falls hilariously (and worryingly) short, and what every non‑engineer needs to know now to use these tools wisely at home and on the job.
