-- After delivering the keynote and moderating two panel discussions at the Tech 2.0 Conference, held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Yvette Schmitter, CEO & Co-founder of Fusion Collective, was recognized in New York’s Times Square for her sustained contributions to ethical AI governance, algorithmic accountability and responsible innovation. This recognition reflects a significant milestone for Schmitter, who is actively reshaping how enterprises build and deploy AI systems.
One of the foremost practitioners in enterprise AI governance, Schmitter’s work centers on a deceptively simple premise: AI systems that can harm people silently can also be audited, corrected, and governed, and the organizations willing to do that work gain an advantage that no performance dashboard can manufacture. The three-day global technology conference brought together AI leaders, technology strategists, AI experts, and industry innovators to explore emerging trends, digital transformation, and the future of technology-driven business growth.
At the event, Schmitter moderated "Redefining Success: What It Means to Thrive as a Woman Entrepreneur," a panel that moved beyond inspiration and into the operational realities of building and leading as a woman founder, and "Diversity Is Not a Trend: How to Market Without the Cringe Factor," leading expert conversations on authentic representation, inclusive marketing strategy and building meaningful connections in a digital landscape where audiences have become fluent at detecting inauthenticity. She delivered the headline keynote "The Coin Is Already Spinning: The Real Reasons 42% of Companies Walked Away From AI in 2025," sharing evidence-backed insights on why enterprise AI initiatives stall, how performance degradation hides inside systems that appear to be functioning, and what responsible adoption actually requires.
“AI will be held accountable. The question is by whom,” said Yvette Schmitter, Co-founder & CEO, Fusion Collective. “There is an urgent need for leaders to consider the technical and ethical side of AI. Together, we must take responsibility for AI governance, reduce systemic risk, and build infrastructure that serves organizations and the communities they impact equally.”
Directly aligned with Tech 2.0’s focus on transformative technologies, forward-thinking leadership, and meaningful conversations redefining the future of the digital world, Schmitter is driven by a commitment to ethical innovation, and her work continues to advance responsible AI frameworks that prioritize fairness, accountability, and measurable human impact. She holds the conviction that technology can be accessible, equitable, and revolutionary for all.
