 niversity Kelley School of Business \n\n\nEmerging technologies such as 
 AI\, blockchain\, quantum computing\, and space applications are evolvin
 g faster than global governance frameworks. The EU has pioneered omnibus
  regimes like the GDPR and AI Act\, while the largely U.S. government re
 lies on federal sectoral regulation and voluntary frameworks. U.K. adopt
 s an incremental approach\, seeking to balance innovation with strategic
  market access across the US\, European and Asian markets.  China and Ru
 ssia are advancing cyber sovereignty models\, while countries across the
  Global South face mounting pressures to choose between competing tech p
 aradigms.  \n\nThese fissures\, and how they are navigated\, will chart 
 the course for the next chapter of global tech governance with profound 
 implications for business\, peace\, and society. Whether it is an increa
 singly fragmented Internet as digital walls go\, a “global networked com
 mons\,” or a polycentric set of pseudo-regimes has major implications fo
 r trade\, human rights\, security\, and innovation. \n\nThis conference 
 will: \n•	Map emerging governance divides across key issue areas: AI\, c
 ybersecurity\, blockchain\, digital platforms\, data flows\, competition
  law\, and infrastructure. \n•	Highlight regional perspectives (EU\, U.S
 .\, U.K.\, China\, India\, Africa\, and Latin America). \n•	Explore mult
 istakeholder and multilateral initiatives\n•	Identify opportunities for 
 bridging divides through trust-building\, norm-setting\, and polycentric
  governance.\n\nConfirmed Speakers\nScott Shackelford\, Indiana Universi
