The stakes
Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology decision. It is every decision.
The question is no longer whether AI will change the world. The question is whether you are in the room where it is decided.
The promise
Understand what is really coming, at the scale it is actually coming.
Separate breakthrough from hype, with people who can tell the difference.
Know what it means for your career, your company or your country.
Leave capable of doing something you could not do before you arrived.
Eight are confirmed and the list is growing. Select any speaker for their session.
New speakers are added as they confirm.
Certification week runs Monday to Thursday. The summit opens Thursday evening, then runs Friday and Saturday: general sessions on the 1,000-seat World Stage, the six Worlds on the Worlds Stage. The hour-by-hour is published closer to the summit, and the program may change.
Four days with Valeena Pinnock. Attack it, defend it, govern it, secure it. Capped at 100 seats.
Four days with Neville Pollard. The growth engine when intelligence is abundant. Capped at 100 seats.
Two days with Lynette Roopnarine. From casual AI use to genuine AI understanding. Capped at 100 seats.
Hands-on technical labs, finalized close to the summit, so what gets taught in April is whatever matters most at the time.
Every certification ends Thursday afternoon, in time for the opening keynote that evening.
Badge and program. Collect them tonight and walk straight in on Friday morning.
What kind of world are we building? Twenty minutes, one argument, hard stop. The summit opens here.
Badges out, program in hand, and the first flat white of the day. Badge collection stays open for anyone arriving Friday.
A cinematic opening that moves through work, money, security, education, medicine, government, robotics and creativity. The next ten years have already begun.
When intelligence becomes a workforce. Your next colleague may not be human, small teams at scale, where AI actually pays, the AI-powered CEO.
One real business rebuilt around intelligence, live on the World Stage. The tool, the cost, the result, and the parts that do not work.
Who captures the value? The new money order, agentic trading, tokenized markets, and a live test on stage: when AI spends, who signs? See the track
Build your AI investor brain: intelligence that compounds into an AI investor command center.
Ten companies building what comes next to shape an AI-powered world, live in the expo. Investors invited to the front rows.
When intelligence leaves the screen. Robotics, the doctor that never sleeps, the augmented athlete, Hollywood after AI.
The demonstration theater’s biggest slots, on the big screen. Agents running real workflows, fifteen minutes each.
One ordinary day in 2035, hour by hour, from waking to sleep. Then one question: would you want to live in this world?
A breakfast conversation. Researchers, founders, executives and government leaders on the future. Not a token panel.
Doors open, badges out, second wind.
A powerful session from an industry-leading AI thought leader.
Fifty leaders, one table, no recording. What must we do now to be ready for what is coming? Invitation only.
Who controls the intelligence? Identity for autonomous systems, the new cyber war, liability when AI decides, trust at machine speed.
An executive brings the mess they actually work in. In under an hour it becomes a working system: email, calendar, research, briefings, follow-up. Everyone in the room leaves with the build.
For invited central banks, regulators, banks and funds, off the record. How a regulated institution says yes to digital assets and agentic finance. Invitation only. About the track
Can small nations leapfrog? Built to put ministers, regulators, platforms and business leaders in the same conversation, not a side room. It includes The Rulebook, the AI and Money chapter on the rules machine-native money needs.
The demonstration theater’s biggest slots, on the big screen. Agents running real workflows, fifteen minutes each. The Agent Trading Arena’s final standings are called here.
What becomes more valuable about being human? What we teach when the answer is free, raising children in an AI world, reinventing yourself first.
An AI incident unfolds in real time and the room runs the response. The clock runs, the decisions are yours, and the consequences are shown.
One question, two sides, real disagreement. The audience votes before and after. Nothing runs against it.
The summit ends on action, not applause.
The program
Explore the forces reshaping business, security, wealth, nations, human potential, and the physical world.
Trinidad and Tobago is the land of the hummingbird and the birthplace of the steelpan. Now it is where the next decade gets decided.
When intelligence becomes a workforce. The economics of business are changing. Companies can deploy intelligence alongside human labor, and small teams can wield capabilities that once required entire departments.
What does a company look like when intelligence is abundant?
Speaking in this World
More names added as they sign.
Underneath the story
Who controls the intelligence? As AI gains access to money, systems, data, infrastructure and decisions, security stops being an afterthought.
What happens when the technology acting on our behalf can also be attacked, manipulated or wrong?
Speaking in this World
More names added as they sign.
A signature GAISB territory. This is where the summit plants its flag.
Underneath the story
Who captures the value? AI is machine-native intelligence. Digital assets are machine-native money. Agents are the reason the two are converging now, and this World treats them as one subject rather than two.
Who wins when intelligence becomes dramatically cheaper?
Speaking in this World

Underneath the story
AI is becoming national infrastructure. For small and developing nations, AI creates an extraordinary question, and a narrow window in which to answer it.
Can the countries that missed earlier technology revolutions leapfrog in this one?
Speaking in this World
More names added as they sign.
Government does not get a small breakout room. The World is built to seat ministers, regulators, technology companies and business leaders in the same conversation.
Underneath the story
What becomes more valuable about being human? The emotional center of the summit. AI is forcing questions far beyond employment.
Who do humans become when intelligence is no longer uniquely human?
Speaking in this World
More names added as they sign.
This is where AI stops being someone else's technology problem and becomes personal.
Underneath the story
When intelligence leaves the screen. The wonder of the summit, where attendees encounter technologies that feel like science fiction becoming real.
What does it look like when intelligence gets a body?

Signature experiences
No routine corporate presentations. No forty-five-minute panels where everyone agrees. Every signature experience exists to deliver one of the four things you leave with.
01See it.
Understand what is really coming, at the scale it is actually coming.
Live one day in the future.
The room is walked through one ordinary day in 2035, hour by hour. You wake at 6:30. Your child leaves for school at 8:00. You see a doctor at noon. By 10pm your AI knows more about you than almost anyone alive. Then one question: would you want to live in this world?
Build your AI investor brain.
Built live on stage: an AI investor brain that compounds intelligence, from research and signals to decisions, into an AI investor command center, with a human signing off on every call. A demonstration, not investment advice, and no real money moves.
02Understand it.
Separate breakthrough from hype, with people who can tell the difference.
One question. Two sides. Real disagreement.
Should advanced AI ever act without human approval? Will AI create more jobs than it destroys? Speakers defend a position rather than hedge it. The audience votes before and after, and the room sees whether anyone changed their mind.
The conversation that isn't livestreamed.
Invitation only. Fifty invited leaders, from CEOs and ministers to investors and institutional heads. No press, no recording, no prepared speeches. One table and one serious question: what must we do now to be ready for what is coming?
03Prepare for it.
Know what it means for your career, your company or your country.
The crisis begins. You make the decisions.
An AI incident unfolds in real time and the room runs the response. A model is compromised, a deepfake moves a market, an autonomous system makes a call nobody authorized. The clock runs, the decisions are yours, and the consequences are shown.
Put autonomous intelligence to work. Live.
Agents from competing teams take the same brief on the same stage and run it in front of the room. Booking, buying, researching, negotiating, trading a live market feed, closing the loop, with no human in the middle and nowhere to hide. The room watches what actually completes, and what quietly fails.
04Build it.
Leave capable of doing something you could not do before you arrived.
Watch a real company become AI-native.
One real business, on stage, rebuilt around intelligence in front of you. Not a case study told after the fact: the work itself, with the tools named, the costs stated and the parts that do not work left in. Everyone in the room leaves with what was built.
Go in overwhelmed. Leave augmented.
Built live on stage, in under an hour. Email, calendar, meetings, research, briefings, documents, follow-up. An executive walks up with the mess they actually work in and walks off with a system that runs around it. Everyone in the room leaves with the build.
Ten companies building what comes next to shape an AI-powered world.
Ten AI companies from the Caribbean, Latin America and beyond get showcase space and the chance to meet investors, mentors and media. Three finalists reach the World Stage. One leaves as GAISB Company of the Year.

Sponsorship
A limited number of sponsorships are available for 2027, from headline position down to a presence on the floor. The inaugural summit only happens once, and the top of the ladder is close to a category of one.
Speaking is not included in a sponsorship by default. If a session you propose brings real value to attendees, we can discuss it. You can also apply to speak.
Three days packed with the things that only happen when this many people are in one place.
On the terrace the night before day one, as the sun goes down over the Gulf of Paria.
Ten companies from the Caribbean, Latin America and beyond, live in the expo, in front of the investors in the room.
Caribbean nationals working inside the global labs, home for two nights.
Closed door, under the Chatham House Rule. Invited regional policymakers, central bank and platform leaders at one table, with machine-native money and the rules it needs on the agenda.
For executives starting from zero. No jargon, no code, no shame.
Small rooms, laptops open, build something real before lunch.
Because this is Trinidad, and a conference here should sound like it.
Optional Sunday run and swim on the north coast. Bring shoes.
Drinks with peers from finance, health, government, energy and sport.
Venue · Hyatt Regency Trinidad
On the Port of Spain waterfront, forty minutes from Piarco International. Direct flights from Miami, New York, Toronto, Panama City, London and Amsterdam put most of the world within one connection, including Africa, the Middle East and Asia through the European hubs.
Two islands, one country, and a culture all its own. Build a long weekend around it. We would.
Rainforest drops straight into the water. Forty minutes from the venue.
Born in Trinidad in the twentieth century, and still the national instrument.
A regional business hub, and the reason the summit is here.
Twenty minutes away by air. Worth the extra night.
Looking out over the harbor, and where half the hallway track ends up.
