In addition to high-level world leaders, the Forum for Good will include sessions on artificial intelligence, climate change, healthcare, international affairs and culture. Indiaspora is curating some amazing experiences, including culinary presentations, interactive demonstrations, performing arts and literature.

Resilience

Resilience

Climate change, extreme weather and migration have strained resources in communities and across nations over the last decade. Sea levels are rising, heat waves are threatening crops, and recent storms like Helene and Milton are causing extraordinary damage. IFG will explore how leaders worldwide are addressing these challenges through innovation in resilient materials, smart city development to manage climatic conditions and emergency management to prepare for extreme weather and damage.

Philanthropy

Philanthropy

Philanthropists are meeting the challenges of the world head-on with greater commitments to funding NGOs, greater advocacy for better public policy and more support for innovation to address the Sustainable Development Goals. The IFG brings together philanthropists committed to different issues in different countries, from education in India to entrepreneurship in Europe and biodiversity in Southeast Asia. Hear about the ways in which philanthropists are using their resources to seed new approaches and scale successful models across sectors and geographies.

Reimagining Al

The IFG will explore the potential for AI to transform our lives over the next 20 years. Already AI is being used by students to write papers and companies to evaluate data sets. At the IFG, leaders from academia, industry and government will share their visions for how AI will improve you personal health, support lifelong learning, make work more efficient and open up more time for new initiatives at the personal and societal level.

Heritage & Culture

Heritage & Culture

The Indian diaspora has created a fusion of traditional Indian arts and culture wherever it has gone – in dance, performance, art and theater. Watch, listen and learn from award-winning artists at the IFG, as they perform for us and share how traditional Indian culture has influenced them in their adopted countries and in a world driven by social media.

It is estimated that artificial intelligence will affect over 70% of our workload. But what is artificial intelligence, or machine-learning or general AI? At the IFG, we bring together top leaders and thinkers about AI industry, academia and government from around the world to further define how it will affect major industries and our way of life – from education to medicine and our roles at work.
