TECHQUITY 2026
TECHQUITY 2026: Trust, Truth & Tech explores how we navigate a rapidly evolving digital world while keeping people at the center. Through dynamic conversations on AI and the human advantage, cybersecurity and digital trust, and what’s next in technology, attendees will gain practical insights to lead, adapt, and thrive with confidence.
LUNCH will be provided for Atlanta and Knoxville attendees from 12-1 PM.
Session 1 – What AI Can’t Do: The Human Advantage
1-2 PM
AI can analyze, automate, and accelerate—but there are critical capabilities that still depend on us. This panel will explore the human skills that become even more valuable as AI becomes more capable, including leadership, creativity, judgment, ethical decision-making, relationship building, and authentic communication. The conversation will also examine how professionals can use AI effectively without allowing technology to diminish the distinctly human strengths that differentiate them.
Session 2 – Cybersecurity: Protecting Yourself, Your Brand & Your Organization
2-3 PM
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT responsibility. From increasingly sophisticated scams and deepfakes to threats against personal identities, professional reputations, and organizations, everyone has a role to play. Cybersecurity experts will discuss emerging risks, how to recognize potential threats, and practical steps individuals and leaders can take to protect themselves, their brands, and their organizations in an environment where determining what—and who—is real is becoming increasingly difficult.
Session 3 – What’s Next in Tech
3-4 PM
What technologies and infrastructure will shape the next several years? Our final panel will look ahead at emerging trends, digital infrastructure, innovation, and the changing technology landscape. Panelists will discuss what they’re seeing now, what may be coming next, and what professionals should be paying attention to as technology continues to transform industries, organizations, and careers.
