Imagine a world where the seemingly impossible becomes reality, where the combined power of quantum computing and artificial intelligence unlocks solutions we can only dream of today. But what if this incredible progress also threatens the very foundations of our digital security, particularly our cryptocurrencies? That's exactly what the Q+AI 2.0 conference in New York City, from October 19-21, is tackling head-on.
Produced by 3DR Holdings and Inside Quantum Technology, Q+AI 2.0 isn't just another tech conference; it's a crucial gathering of over 400 of the world's leading experts. They're converging at 36 Battery Place in downtown NYC to explore the exciting – and potentially disruptive – convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. Think of it as a meeting of minds, where the brightest individuals in these fields are coming together to shape the future.
Building upon the success of its inaugural year, Q+AI 2.0 promises two jam-packed days of programming. With two continuous tracks and over 70 speakers presenting across 24 sessions, attendees will be immersed in the latest advancements and challenges. There are also daily mentoring sessions, providing invaluable opportunities to learn directly from industry veterans. And for a unique networking experience, there's a special "Greet & Meet" New York Harbor Dinner Cruise planned for October 19th for attendees and sponsors.

The speaker lineup is a veritable who's who of the quantum and AI worlds, featuring true pioneers and thought leaders from major players:
- Ismael Faro, IBM
- Marco Pistoia, IONQ
- Andrew McGlaughlin, SandboxAQ
- Carlos Moreira, SealSQ
- Steve Yalovitser, Amazon Web Services
- Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti
But here's where it gets controversial... While the potential benefits of quantum computing and AI are immense, they also pose a significant threat to current cybersecurity protocols. And this is the part most people miss... The Q+AI 2.0 conference doesn't shy away from this challenge. A dedicated, full-day "Q+Crypto" program – essentially a "conference within a conference" – will delve specifically into the vulnerabilities of cryptocurrencies in the face of quantum computers. This track will explore quantum-safe cryptography, post-quantum security (PQC), and the broader implications for blockchain and digital-asset infrastructure. Will current cryptographic methods stand the test of quantum computing's power? That's the question on everyone's minds.
"Quantum + AI will increasingly become a significant part of the dynamic growth and possibilities of AI," stated Alan Meckler, CEO of 3DR Holdings. "We're proud to welcome attendees from 19 countries and 37 states, who are coming to participate in industry-leading conversations at this groundbreaking event." This truly highlights the global importance of these discussions.
The event boasts impressive partners, including Diamond Sponsor SealSQ and Presenting Sponsor Cantor, demonstrating the high level of industry support and interest.
