Leading through transformation is difficult. Doing it with hundreds of thousands of people is something else entirely. Kathryn McLay knows what that takes.

As former President and CEO of Walmart International and Sam's Club, McLay led one of the world's largest and most complex organizations through a defining period of change. Responsible for operations across 18 countries, more than 500,000 associates, and millions of customers each week, she helped align global teams behind a shared strategy while navigating disruption, accelerating growth, and driving execution at extraordinary scale.

On stage, McLay makes transformation tangible. Rather than offering theories, she shares the leadership principles she relied on to align hundreds of thousands of people around a common goal, execute through uncertainty, and sustain performance at extraordinary scale. Audiences leave better equipped to lead change inside their own organizations—whether they're responsible for fifty people or fifty thousand.

The AI race won't be won by the companies building the models. It will be won by the companies that know how to put them to work. Few leaders understand that better than Bill McDermott.

As Chairman and CEO of ServiceNow, Bill leads one of the Fortune 500's fastest-growing technology companies and is helping define how the world's largest organizations put AI to work. Under his leadership, ServiceNow has become a leader in enterprise AI, connecting people, data, and workflows to drive transformation at scale. Previously, as CEO of SAP, he led one of the most successful chapters in the company's history, cementing his reputation as one of the technology industry's most admired executives.

On stage, Bill offers a CEO's perspective on the biggest technology shift of our time. Drawing on decades leading global software companies, he shares how organizations can harness AI to accelerate growth, lead through disruption, and build businesses prepared for what's next.

Artificial intelligence is moving faster than most organizations realize, and Matt Shumer is one of the people closest to the shift.

As the former CEO of OthersideAI, the company behind the widely used AI writing assistant HyperWrite, Shumer buillt the kinds of tools that are quietly reshaping how millions of professionals write, code, and work.

His perspective broke into the mainstream with his viral essay, Something Big Is Happening published in Fortune, where he argued that the current AI moment resembles February 2020, when early warnings about COVID were still easy to dismiss. Shumer’s message was blunt: the transformation is already underway, and most people have not caught up yet.

On stage, Shumer brings audiences inside the front lines of AI development. Rather than relying on abstract predictions, he draws on what he and other builders are already seeing in their work, helping leaders understand what matters now as AI begins to reshape industries and how knowledge work gets done.

Anna Wintour is one of the most influential leaders in modern media. For more than thirty years, she has led Vogue and Condé Nast, demonstrating an uncommon ability to read the cultural and commercial moment. As a speaker, Ms. Wintour talks from the vantage point of someone who has spent decades making consequential decisions and steadying institutions through disruption.

Her name signals authority and discernment. That judgment extended beyond publishing, transforming the Met Gala into a global philanthropic engine and raising more than $400 million for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her work also spans public health and philanthropy, including long-standing advocacy in the fight against HIV and AIDS, recognized by the American Foundation for AIDS Research, and her role as Co-Founder of the Center for Youth Mental Health.

Wintour’s influence has been recognized at the highest levels internationally. She has received a damehood from Queen Elizabeth II, been appointed a Companion of Honour by King Charles III, awarded France’s Légion d’Honneur by President Nicolas Sarkozy, and honored with the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award.

Audiences hear from a voice whose experience is singular and whose influence has defined how modern media operates at scale.
