Ladies and Gentlemen, We stand at a crossroads. In an era defined by rapid change and boundless possibilities, the choices we make today will shape our tomorrow. It's a time when conventional wisdom falls short, and the call for visionary leadership has never been louder. Now more than ever, we need to break borders. Not just the physical boundaries that divide nations, but the invisible barriers that limit our minds. We need to embrace diversity, foster inclusivity, and champion the exchange of ideas that spans cultures, disciplines, and ideologies. Now more than ever, we need to think about our future together. The challenges we face—climate change, social inequality, technological disruption—are not confined by geography or jurisdiction. They demand a collective response, a unified vision, and a shared commitment to action. Now more than ever, we need to be in the company of those who are making the future. The thinkers, the doers, the dreamers who dare to imagine a better world and work tirelessly to make it a reality. It's time to surround ourselves with the trailblazers who not only foresee what's coming but also have the courage to lead the way. And now more than ever, you need to be on the edge of everything. Because those in the center cannot see the world like the ones on the edge can! From the edge, you can see beyond the horizon, anticipate the next wave, and seize opportunities that others might miss. The edge is where innovation thrives, where ideas are born, and where the future is shaped. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the EDGE -- a group of leaders on the edge of everything. We are a collective of forward-thinkers, change-makers, and visionaries united by our commitment to create a better tomorrow. Together, we will push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and redefine what's possible. Let's embrace this moment with open minds and bold hearts. Let's build bridges, not walls. Let's collaborate, innovate, and inspire. And let's do it all from the edge, where the view is clear and the possibilities are endless. Thanks Visit: www.edgecommunity.org

The hundreds of captivating panels, presentations, workshops, mentor sessions, keynotes and featured speakers that made up the 2024 SXSW Conference came to an end in mid-March. However the generous selection of content on the SXSW YouTube page means that the learning, discovery and inspiration from assorted industry leaders continues online for many more months. For today's edition of this ongoing LinkedIn series, we focus on the Featured Session with Margrethe Vestager, the Executive Vice-President and Competition Commissioner for the European Union. This session addresses how governments should incentivize companies to use AI for good. Vestager also covers the impact that the demand for innovation has on the environment. And she speculates on whether we will ever be able explain to future generations what it means to live without technology. Interviewing Vestager on all these issues and more at SXSW 2024 was Sewell Chan, the Editor in Chief of the Texas Tribune.
