GCRAI Napa Valley 2026: The Road to Davos
Global Council for Responsible AI Quarterly Global Summit

Tuesday, November 17, 2026 | 8:00 AM–5:00 PM PST
The Meritage Resort and Spa | Napa Valley, California (in-person)

Join the Global Council for Responsible AI (GCRAI) for an intimate gathering of senior leaders advancing the practical implementation of responsible AI.

Set in Napa Valley, this invitation-only summit brings together leaders from government, industry, technology and the global GCRAI community for a day of candid discussion, shared learning and collaborative work. Together, we will explore how organizations can translate responsible AI principles into meaningful oversight, measurable controls and public trust.

What to expect

• GRAICE™ in practice: Hear from San Joaquin County’s technology and security leadership about their experience implementing GRAICE™, including lessons for other governments and organizations.

• AI verification and assurance: Join a discussion on California’s evolving approach to AI verification and what it means for organizational accountability.

• Global chapter insights: Learn from GCRAI chapters advancing responsible AI across their communities.

• Responsible AI Pledge Lab: Contribute to a working session developing the first version of GCRAI’s Responsible AI Pledge, ahead of a planned global campaign at Davos in January 2027.

• Meaningful connections: Connect with fellow leaders during breakfast, lunch and a closing cocktail reception.

The day’s discussions will help inform GCRAI’s forthcoming AI verification white paper and its work leading into Davos 2027.
