Jewish Perspective on AI: Powering Innovation Across Northern Virginia

Join The Network for breakfast and a dynamic high impact panel exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming industries, accelerating economic change, and reshaping the future of Northern Virginia. This energizing gathering will bring together our region’s professional community for a morning of meaningful networking, fresh perspective, and forward looking conversation.

Moderated by Elana Katzen, Strategic Partner at TrendAI, the panel will feature Chris McGuire, Senior Fellow for China and Emerging Technologies at the Council on Foreign Relations, Evan Regan‑Levine, Chief Strategy Officer at JBG Smith, and Jayme Bergman, Cloud Strategist & Business Advisor at Amazon Web Services. These senior leaders from across technology, real estate, and policy will share candid insights on the opportunities and challenges emerging in their work, the real‑world decisions they are already navigating, and what responsible innovation will require in the years ahead.

The program will conclude with a reflection from Rabbi Steven I. Rein of Agudas Achim, bringing a Jewish ethics lens to the conversation and inviting participants to consider deeper questions of power, responsibility, and community in an era of rapid technological change.
