The LBJ Business Policy Forum, hosted by the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin will convene top business leaders, entrepreneurs, technologists, and policymakers in a series of high-impact dialogues. These convenings will tackle the most consequential policy challenges and opportunities facing American business today—from AI and trade policy to infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and small business resilience. Our goal is to shape a new, actionable public policy agenda that ensures the U.S. private sector remains the world’s most competitive, innovative, and influential force.

The event will center on public policy: how we prepare workers for transition, preserve pathways to economic mobility, and make sure AI’s productivity gains translate into broader economic security. Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, will join as a panelist, bringing a front-line view of how AI is reshaping software work and entry-level pathways. Bringing together leaders in research, academia, technology, and public policy, the conversation will focus on how America can lead in AI innovation while keeping human safety, security, and control at the center.
