Ensuring that users have a seamless and protected product experience while transacting with crypto is critical, and stronger risk management is essential when assessing how to store, access, and generate private keys. Their policy engine is the foundation for flexible controls and permissions within every organization built on Turnkey. The TRON transaction parser adds additional support, providing detailed insights into existing transaction structures and breaking down complex onchain data into clear, actionable information. The TRON policy engine is built for high performance and includes transaction parsing for more granular control over policies, breaking down complex onchain data into clear, actionable insights.

The day began with an inspiring keynote from Aaron Kwittken, Founder and Global CEO of PRophet. In his session, “Empowering Your Team: How to Upskill for the Age of AI in Communications,” Kwittken urged communications professionals to future-proof their careers by embracing a new Human-led, AI-fed model of working. He introduced the concept of the “Communications Engineer” - a hybrid talent fluent in both data and storytelling - and challenged teams to replace instinct with insight. Kwittken highlighted the importance of not only leveraging generative AI, but also harnessing predictive and prescriptive AI to forecast media outcomes, test messaging, and track performance in real time. His actionable frameworks and call for industry-wide upskilling set a dynamic tone for the summit.

In their session, “From Siloed to Synchronized: Connecting Teams for Campaign Planning,” Baird emphasized that marketing is inherently visual, experiential, and strategic—far beyond what traditional project management tools can support. Opal’s holistic platform provides high-level storytelling visibility, enabling teams to track progress, align on campaign direction, and unify previously siloed departments. The discussion addressed the critical need for a single source of truth in marketing, warning that a lack of alignment and visibility can erode credibility with decision-makers.

As consumers increasingly turn to AI platforms like ChatGPT and Copilot, GEO is emerging as a vital complement to traditional SEO. Germovic revealed Edelman’s new GEO solution, designed to help brands not only remain discoverable but also shape how they are represented in AI-generated results—a communications challenge as much as a technical one. OpenAI: ChatGPT’s Enterprise Revolution The summit concluded with a forward-looking session from Erica Vlahinos, GTM Director at OpenAI, who spotlighted the extraordinary impact of ChatGPT across the enterprise landscape. With 92% of Fortune 500 companies now leveraging OpenAI tools and 78% of their employees actively using ChatGPT, the platform has become a cornerstone of modern business productivity. Vlahinos shared compelling data: employees using ChatGPT complete 12% more tasks, finish work 25% faster, and deliver 40% higher-quality output. She also introduced attendees to Canvas, a new feature enabling live editing and real-time collaboration within ChatGPT. The platform’s chat capabilities now support deep research, content drafting, editing, social media post creation, and even image generation. Advanced analytics provide actionable recommendations for future marketing campaigns.

The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) and Comcast announced they have partnered to provide a WiFi connection to Xfinity's next generation network in several of the Minneapolis Public Housing buildings in the city. This is Comcast’s second collaboration with a Minnesota-based housing agency to provide pre-installed, already on connectivity to the Xfinity network for their residents. Residential units will be equipped to connect to Xfinity’s superior WiFi network.
