SUMMARY:Respond\, Don't React: Recognizing and Managing Emotional Triggers
DESCRIPTION:In a world of nonstop change and pressure\, even the most experienced professionals get triggered in ways that throw us off course—hurting performance and straining relationships. In this presentation by the Silicon Valley chapter of the NHRA\, we’ll explore what’s really happening when emotions take over\, why it matters\, and what we can do about it. Through real stories\, group discussion\, and practical tools\, you’ll learn how to spot your own triggers\, make space to respond instead of react\, and better support others in the process. These tools aren’t just for managing stress—they help build trust\, empathy\, and stronger teams. You’ll walk away with simple strategies you can use right away for tough conversations\, conflict\, or just when everything feels like a little too much – both personally and professionally. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n• Spot the signs—learn to recognize how your body and brain react when you’re emotionally triggered. \n• Get curious about cognitive blind spots—where might triggers be getting in the way of how we show up and lead? \n• Build our ability to pause\, regroup\, and respond instead of react. \n• Walk away with simple tools to better support yourself and create more space and trust for others\, too. \nAGENDA \n5:30 PM IN-PERSON NETWORKING (dinner included) \n6:00 PM VIRTUAL SESSION BEGINS \n6:05 PM LEGAL UPDATES \n6:15 PM PROGRAM \n7:15 PM Q&A \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jeff Jacobs\nJeff is a recognized leadership development and organizational effectiveness executive who has facilitated and consulted on 500+ engagements over the past 10 years as an employee of top-tier companies like Adobe and Intuit.

SUMMARY:US - India: Normalization or Reset?
DESCRIPTION:The US–India relationship stands at a crossroads balancing strategic pragmatism with shared democratic values. Recent tensions over trade\, tariffs\, and technology have raised questions about whether the partnership is being recalibrated or simply cooling. \nThe 8th annual AIMA US–India Conference examines how the two countries can review their priorities and either restore normalcy or redefine the relationship for a multipolar world. \nJoin thought leaders and decision-makers from across policy\, industry\, and academia where we’ll explore one of the world’s most consequential relationships at a moment of reassessment. As the global landscape shifts and new alliances emerge\, the conference examines how the US and India can navigate economic and strategic tensions while sustaining long-term cooperation. Key sessions will address AI governance\, global conflict dynamics\, and advances in human health and biotechnology. \nAgenda \n\n2:30 pm – Registration\n3–3:55 p.m. – Inaugural Session: US India: Normalisation or Reset?\nThis opening session explores recent shifts in US–India ties and the roots of friction.

This discussion looks at the fragility of global order\, the risks of escalating conflict\, and the role India and the US can play in rebalancing global cooperation.\n5:50 – 6:35 p.m. – Panel 3: Biohacking Human Health\nAs scientific understanding of genetics and immunology grows\, so does the possibility of extending not just life span but health span. The panel examines how AI\, genomics\, and metabolic science are converging to personalise and revolutionise human wellbeing.\n6:35 p.m. – Networking Reception\nAn opportunity for speakers and attendees to connect informally and continue the conversation.\n\nWho should attend \nThe conference will bring together policymakers\, business leaders\, entrepreneurs\, academics\, investors\, and senior professionals to explore new strategies for US–India cooperation in a fast-changing global landscape. \nRegistration \n\nPre-registration is mandatory\nSeats are limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis
