Scaling with Vision: Resilience, Reinvention, and the Future of AI

In this fireside chat, Fidji Simo will share her playbook for building companies that scale with purpose — balancing long-term ambition with disciplined execution. From transforming Instacart into a diversified grocery technology leader to her upcoming role as CEO of OpenAI Applications, Fidji brings a unique perspective at the intersection of retail, AI, and consumer behavior. She’ll unpack how a bold, evolved vision powered Instacart’s expansion into enterprise services and in-store technologies like AI-powered Caper Carts. And she’ll offer a global view of what’s next in AI — from unlocking new consumer interfaces to navigating accessibility and regulation across the U.S., Europe and beyond.
