On November 4, 2025, the Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the AI World Society (AIWS) will host a special conference at the historic Harvard University Loeb House — a milestone gathering at the intersection of leadership, peace, ethics, and innovation.
This year’s event carries exceptional significance as it marks the 10th Anniversary of the World Leader for Peace and Security Award (2015–2025), honoring leaders who have shaped global peace and stability in an age defined by profound technological change. Alongside this celebration, the conference will advance two of BGF’s pioneering missions: embedding ethical frameworks in finance through AI governance 24/7 and establishing transparent, inclusive, and governance-aligned standards for digital assets and cryptocurrencies.
The program will convene world leaders, distinguished scholars, innovators, and financial executives to discuss urgent priorities: ensuring that AI in finance serves society responsibly, and that digital assets evolve as trusted instruments for inclusion, resilience, and innovation. Highlights include the presentation of the 2025 World Leader for Peace and Security Award, keynote addresses by prominent global figures, and panels featuring voices from Harvard, MIT, Microsoft, MUFG, and beyond.
The conference will culminate in a BGF Statement on Ethical AI Governance in Finance and Digital Assets, alongside the launch of World Leader NFTs — digital legacies of laureates, blending commemoration with pioneering digital innovation.
More than a gathering, the BGF Conference 2025 is a declaration: that in the Age of AI, leadership must be guided by ethics, democracy, and humanity, ensuring that finance and technology become engines for peace, fairness, and global enlightenment.
