Every day, organizations must decide how quickly to embrace new technology while balancing innovation with ethical responsibility. As autonomous transportation moves from possibility to reality, leaders face important questions about safety, accountability, trust, and the role people should play when technology takes the wheel.
Join the Business Ethics Alliance on October 8 for our 2026 Fall Mind Candy Dialogue, “Stories from the Road: Ethics of Autonomous Transportation,” at Valmont West.
We’re excited to welcome Daragh P. Mahon, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Werner Enterprises, as a featured speaker. This timely conversation will explore the ethical considerations surrounding autonomous transportation and what emerging technologies mean for businesses, employees, and our communities.
Connect with fellow business and community leaders as we consider how to embrace innovation while keeping ethics, responsibility, and public trust at the center. <a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/163584/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
