\u201cAI is evolving so rapidly that much of what we discussed in 2025 is already being reshaped,\u201d said Joel Deuterman, president and CEO of VNET. \u201cThis year\u2019s Tech Summit brings together perspectives from business, government and cybersecurity leaders to provide a global view of where technology is heading and how organizations can prepare to grow securely, with AI as a strategic part of their future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday will kick off this year\u2019s afternoon session, sharing insights into how AI and cybersecurity threats are\u00a0impacting\u00a0individuals and businesses across the commonwealth, and what his office is doing to protect Pennsylvanians. His perspective brings a critical public-sector lens to the conversation, highlighting the growing importance of awareness,\u00a0prevention\u00a0and accountability as technology continues to evolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Summit will kick off with an exclusive fireside chat with Erie Insurance President and CEO Tim NeCastro.

Following a recent cybersecurity incident, Tim NeCastro will offer real-world insights on the company\u2019s response and how renewed trust, collaboration and confidence were gained through the experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we experienced last year is an unfortunate\u2015but very real\u2015part of doing business today,\u201d said\u00a0NeCastro, who will join VNET CIO Brian Marshall for a fireside chat. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to sharing how we responded, what we learned, and insights that could help others be better prepared.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
