HILL AND VALLEY FORUM 2025

In 2025, the Forum returned to Washington with a louder, bolder message - Rebuilding Industrial Power in the AI Era. From Jensen Huang’s vision for AI infrastructure to fierce debates on energy, minerals, and national defense, the agenda captured a nation rediscovering its industrial ambition. Every session pulsed with urgency and optimism, as founders, investors, and public leaders sketched the blueprint for America’s next technological renaissance.

HILL AND VALLEY FORUM 2024

The 2024 Hill & Valley Forum lit up Washington, D.C. with a summit uniting the nation’s builders, investors, and policymakers under one roof. What began as an experiment in bridging two worlds - Silicon Valley’s speed and Capitol Hill’s strategy - quickly became a movement. Speakers like Vinod Khosla and Alex Karp joined defense and energy leaders to map how AI, supply chains, and industrial power define America’s next competitive frontier. The result was unmistakable: a new nexus where innovation meets statecraft and the tempo of progress finally matches the stakes
