The Future of Financial Freedom Is Hybrid: How AI-Powered Investing is Helping Independent Investors Challenge Wall Street’s Advantage
Friday July 10, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm PDT
Entrepreneurship Stage Room 119-121
The old investing debate is broken.
The future of investing is not human. It is not artificial.
It is hybrid.
For decades, Wall Street institutions have had access to tools, data, speed, and decision-making systems that individual investors could not reach. Today, AI is changing that. It is giving everyday investors the ability to see more, react faster, manage risk more intelligently, and make decisions with a level of insight once reserved for the largest financial firms.
But AI alone is not enough.
Markets are not just math. They are shaped by emotion, behavior, fear, greed, timing, discipline, and long-term vision. The most successful investors of the next decade will not be the ones who passively hand everything over to Wall Street's machine. They will be the ones who combine the analytical power of AI with human judgment, personal goals, and a financial platform that prioritizes protection.
This discussion will explore how iFlip is democratizing investing, challenging traditional institutional advantages, and helping individuals take greater control of their financial future with less volatility.
The future will not be AI replacing investors. It will be investors using AI replacing those who do not.

Freedom vs Factory Farms: How to Defend Liberty and Animals
Saturday July 11, 2026 3:00pm - 3:45pm PDT
Ideas & Debate Stage Room 106-107
Industrial animal agriculture is one of the most heavily subsidized, most regulated, and least scrutinized sectors of the American economy — it is also the source of more death and violence than anything else in the world’s history.

Can a coherent libertarian framework end the mass confinement and suffering of billions of sentient creatures? Does the state’s role in propping up factory farming through subsidies, liability shields, and ag-gag laws implicate advocates of limited government in something they’d otherwise oppose? And what does a principled commitment to property rights, voluntary exchange, and human flourishing actually demand of us when the victims can’t vote, lobby, or file suit?

This panel will discuss these questions and dive in depth to the ways in which principled defenses of liberty and sentient life are not only not mutually exclusive but dependent upon each other.
