WASHINGTON — (November 1, 2025) — Orca Intelligence successfully hosted its second Leadership Lab: AI + Innovation Mixer last week, held immediately following the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Conference. The event convened a dynamic group of entrepreneurs, founders, and innovation leaders for an evening of collaboration, insight-sharing, and practical learning centered on the future of business and artificial intelligence.
Building on the momentum of the national conference, the Leadership Lab offered a hands-on environment where attendees could transform big ideas into actionable strategies for growth, efficiency, and resilience. The program highlighted real-world applications of AI, responsible data use, and emerging technologies shaping the next era of business.
Attendees represented a wide range of industries including engineering, real estate, beauty, television and film, law, and information technology demonstrating the broad relevance and urgent need for AI literacy across sectors. The mix of perspectives created a collaborative and solution-driven atmosphere, where participants explored opportunities for innovation tailored to their unique business challenges.
One of the standout features of the evening was the four interactive “Lab Stations,” each designed to give attendees a tactile, real-world experience with emerging technologies:
These stations transformed complex technologies into accessible experiences, empowering participants to understand how innovation can directly support their business goals.
