About The Summit on U.S. Resilience:
We're living through a period of historic change that demands intentional transformation. GCI believes that connecting builders, policymakers, and capital can build the resilience America needs—not tomorrow, but today.

The Summit on U.S. Resilience is designed to confront the defining question of our era: how to strengthen America's ability to adapt and lead. GCI is bringing inspirational founders of innovative companies to Washington to meet the relevant policymakers and build a strategy for a more resilient future.

U.S. resilience requires the transformation flywheel: Founders create breakthrough technologies. Policymakers set rules that enable or inhibit adoption. Capital provides patient, long-term investment. When all three work together, transformation accelerates and resilience gets built. GCI—and The Summit on U.S. Resilience—is the bridge that connects these forces and marks the beginning of a broader movement to shape America's future with intention, innovation, and shared purpose.
