🔍 Inside the Global AI Council Summit – Los Angeles 2025: A Movement in Motion
On a sunny Saturday in Los Angeles, over 85 innovators, builders, and thought leaders came together at The New Mart for the first-ever Global AI Council Summit – Los Angeles 2025 — and what unfolded was more than just a conference. It was a powerful gathering of people who believe in AI for Good and are ready to shape a future that’s inclusive, ethical, and collaborative.
🧠 Real Conversations. Global Minds.
Unlike traditional tech events filled with buzzwords and sales pitches, the GAC Summit focused on what matters: authentic dialogue. The format was inspired by World Economic Forum-style sessions — tightly curated panels, diverse speakers, and deeply engaged audiences.
Every panel tackled a dimension of AI's rising influence:

🏛️ A One-of-a-Kind Venue
Thanks to our main sponsors, Tom and Cindy Keefer, we hosted the summit at The New Mart — an iconic building in Downtown LA known for creativity and design. From main stage panels to a VIP lunch inside a private art gallery on the 8th floor, the entire space fueled high-level thinking and deep connection.
📸 The Energy Was Unmatched
Everywhere you turned, people were sharing ideas, making new friends, and discussing how to apply AI across industries. From startup founders to enterprise execs, everyone came to network, not just spectate.
As one attendee said: "It felt like Davos, but with real warmth."
