Miranda Kerr & Baby2Baby Co-CEOs Kelly Sawyer Patricof & Norah Weinstein | Global Conference 2026
Miranda Kerr, Kelly Sawyer Patricof, Norah Weinstein, Lisa Ling, Jory Rollins
Over fifteen years, Baby2Baby has scaled from a Los Angeles storefront to a national logistics network that has distributed half a billion essentials to 1.5 million children, while currently managing a critical gap where only 15% of the ten million children in need receive support. Leveraging a high-profile board of "Angel Moms" and strategic policy advocacy, the organization successfully lobbied for diaper tax reforms in twenty-four states and secured a federal maternal health partnership with the Biden White House. Facing a waitlist of eleven million requests, Baby2Baby is now launching a capital campaign to construct a new headquarters and expand its in-house manufacturing to bridge the supply shortage serving the remaining unreached families.

How Legora Went From YC to $100M ARR in 18 Months

As the business prepares to expand beyond its legal identity, it leverages proprietary data and specialized workflow integrations to maintain a competitive moat against generalist model providers while addressing the evaluation challenges inherent in complex legal contexts.

Thomas Laffont: The $4T AI IPO Wave Is Coming… and We’ve Never Seen Anything Like It
Thomas Laffont, Chamath, Jason, Nikesh
Hosted by Thomas Kostigen and Chamath Palihapitiya, this event analyzes the explosive 70% growth in the unicorn economy driven by AI's dominance in global fundraising and the emergence of a new "Magnificent AI" index valuing nearly $4 trillion. The discussion highlights how capital is concentrating in massive players like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI, which are outpacing traditional cloud providers and projected to generate more liquidity value in 2026 than the previous decade combined. Furthermore, the speakers evaluate the transition from a 2021 preservation era to a power-law investment model, forecasting that extreme compounding and public listings from these top-tier winners will reshape multiple sectors through 2028.

GLP-1s are shrinking some appetites; broader use poses a prickly challenge
Peter Galbo, Jason Gerberry, TJ Thornton
As of May 2026, the U.S. GLP-1 market has reached 10 million treated patients and $28 billion in revenue while facing a deflationary pricing cycle driven by Medicare agreements and an upcoming surge of generic semaglutide competitors. This therapeutic expansion is displacing packaged food volume in snack and alcohol categories, forcing large-cap pharmaceutical firms to trade at depressed multiples as the market nears U.S. saturation and pivots toward international growth. Future value will increasingly depend on next-generation formulations targeting muscle preservation and adherence rates, with analysts forecasting a shift where international sales eventually comprise more than half of total category revenue.

Science of Love: Conversation with Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd & Arthur Brooks | Global Conference
Whitney Wolfe Herd, Arthur Brooks, Savannah Sellers
Bumble and Harvard Kennedy School Professor Arthur C. Brooks collaborated to release a white paper arguing that successful offline marriages drive user growth while current app metrics exacerbate loneliness and social isolation. To counter declining relationship satisfaction and the atrophy of in-person social skills, the company is launching a Q4 product that replaces swipe mechanics with AI-driven screening for toxic personality traits and prioritizes immediate real-world meetings. This strategic shift redefines compatibility around shared core values rather than rigid filters and utilizes neurochemical insights to prove that genuine bonding requires physical presence over digital simulation.

Inflation and the inflation markets
Mark Capleton, Stephen Juneau, Alessandro Infelise-Zhou, Meghan Swiber
Strategists attribute the current surge in US inflation to Iran-related energy shocks, supply chain pressures, and AI-driven capital expenditure, while noting weaker fiscal stimulus compared to the pandemic era has kept demand-side inflation subdued. Although the Federal Reserve is likely to hold rates until labor market signals improve, forecasts now suggest a first 50-basis-point cut will not occur until the second half of 2026, whereas the Euro Area and UK anticipate earlier ECB rate hikes in mid-2025 followed by a slower cut cycle starting in 2027. Market positioning has shifted to short duration and long risk assets despite underpriced tail risks from prolonged conflict, as five-year inflation expectations remain anchored and European real rates continue to support a bullish bond stance.

Ultimately, the leaders asserted that aligning corporate strategy with community well-being and employee dignity is the only viable path to sustaining economic resilience in a divided society.

Stanford MS&E435 Economics of the AI Supercycle | Spring 2026 | Infrastructure, Capstone Case
Former Intel CTO Kati Katti, now at OpenAI, details the organization's aggressive pursuit of 30 gigawatts of compute capacity to support a future dominated by complex agentic workloads and massive inference demands. This strategy involves overcoming severe supply chain bottlenecks and grid constraints through specialized infrastructure like nuclear power and Cerebras accelerators while prioritizing gigawatt-scale deployment over fragmented edge solutions. Katti predicts the AI value chain will eventually shift from hardware foundations to application-layer outcomes, as the industry races to solve the critical shortage of logic and memory fabrication capacity.

Bond market selloff
Sphia Salim, Zviya Salim, Mark Yamashita, Agni, Edward
On May 22, global bond markets underwent a significant sell-off driven by inflation concerns and supply fears, with the US Treasury market stabilizing amid US-Iran negotiation headlines while Japanese and UK markets faced distinct fiscal and political pressures. Central bank policy reassessments, particularly regarding Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Morse and Bank of Japan Governor Ueda, have shifted investor expectations toward potential rate hikes despite underlying growth softness in the Eurozone. Consequently, positioning across US, Japanese, and UK gilts has adapted to a landscape where real rates are rising, though recent commodity stabilization and election outcomes have sparked partial reversals in volatility.

Capital in Motion: Repositioning at Scale for the Next Cycle | Global Conference 2026
Sara Eisen, Marcie Frost, Ron O'Hanley, Harvey Schwartz, Daniel Simkowitz
Geopolitical conflicts and tariff pressures are driving a fundamental reprioritization of global capital toward national security, supply chain resilience, and AI infrastructure, fundamentally altering the fifty-year status quo of international markets. Leading institutional investors, including Carlyle, State Street, and Morgan Stanley, characterize the current private credit environment as a healthy cycle transition rather than a systemic risk while deploying significant resources to capture the estimated $3.2 trillion in shifting sovereign wealth and the emerging artificial intelligence sector. As the global economy pivots to prioritize defense and compute capacity, market participants are redefining portfolio allocations to focus on US innovation hubs, robust Asian markets, and rigorous underwriting standards to navigate rising capital demands and potential labor displacement.
