2024 is the year for global democracy. The year when a record-breaking number of countries held national elections; when more than two billion voters cast ballots to shape the future of their nation and the world. In the foreground of this monumental moment, emerging technologies and heightened global tensions confront the resilience of even the world's longest standing democracies. This session will unpack how key international leaders are approaching election security risks to the democratic processes - such as cyber threats, foreign malign influence, and the role of generative AI - and ensure that 2024 is no anomaly, but an inflection point. Join CISA Director Jen Easterly, NCSC CEO Felicity Oswald, and ENISA COO Hans de Vries as they discuss the challenges of protecting democracy.

AI makes wild promises through the siren song of fame, fortune, and even power, but is it worth it without guaranteeing the safety of our fellow man? You write the code that could either uplift humanity or lead to its destruction. Your creations reflect the values and vision for the future and how we tell the story of our technology evolution matters. Please join the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly in telling our shared technology story for a more secure and hopeful future.
