Marylin Montoya to Be Featured as Speaker and Award Nominee at AINext Awards & Conference 2026
Las Vegas, NV  AINext Awards & Conference 2026 is proud to announce Marylin Montoya, Founder and CEO of Regumint, as a featured speaker and award nominee, recognizing her outstanding leadership in AI-powered legal reasoning, regulatory intelligence, and responsible innovation in high-stakes environments. A distinguished founder, operator, and AI strategist based in Paris, Marylin Montoya has emerged as one of Europe’s most respected voices at the intersection of artificial intelligence, legal systems, healthcare transformation, and regulated enterprise innovation. With more than 14 years of experience leading growth, product direction, and strategic execution for high-impact B2B SaaS companies, her work represents the kind of deep, durable innovation that the AINext platform was built to celebrate. Marylin’s journey into AI began not from theoretical experimentation, but from a decade of hands-on operational leadership across Europe’s B2B SaaS ecosystem. As part of a founding team and later as Chief Marketing Officer, she helped scale multiple startups through high-growth stages, including ventures that ultimately achieved €100M+ exits. These experiences gave her a rare understanding of how to build systems that survive real-world pressure—where product decisions, market incentives, and user trust must align under constant operational complexity. This foundation ultimately led her to establish Regumint, a pioneering European legal-intelligence startup designed to address one of the most difficult challenges in AI today: legal reasoning in highly regulated environments. Unlike general-purpose AI tools that treat legal text as static documents, Regumint approaches European Union law as a dynamic reasoning system. The platform uses advanced AI and NLP architectures to transform dense and evolving regulations into structured, machine-readable intelligence, enabling businesses, policymakers, and regulated enterprises to understand clause-level meaning, risk exposure, temporal validity, and strategic implications in real time. At a time when AI adoption in legal and compliance functions is accelerating globally, Marylin’s work stands out because it is grounded in how EU law actually functions, rather than adapting legal workflows to the limitations of general-purpose models. This distinction has positioned Regumint as a highly relevant platform for enterprises operating in sectors where errors are expensive, compliance is non-negotiable, and human judgment must remain central. Her vision is clear: AI should not replace human legal reasoning, but rather amplify human clarity, accelerate interpretation, and improve decision quality under regulatory complexity. This same philosophy extends into her broader strategic work through MMS Ventures, where she partners with founders, executives, and institutions on AI system design, venture strategy, responsible scaling, and go-to-market models for regulated industries. Her advisory work spans healthcare, enterprise SaaS, and complex institutional environments, helping organizations determine where AI creates genuine leverage and where human ownership must remain the defining layer of trust and accountability. Beyond venture building, Marylin has also taken on an influential role in healthcare AI transformation. Through her embedded leadership mission with Groupe Hospitalier Diaconesses Croix Saint-Simon, one of France’s major hospital groups, she works directly with executive leadership, COMEX, IT governance, and cybersecurity stakeholders to modernize administrative systems and implement responsible AI workflows. Her healthcare transformation work focuses on safe AI deployment, governance modernization, cybersecurity resilience, digital workflow optimization, and sustainable operational change management. In a sector where human consequences are immediate and governance failures carry significant risk, Marylin’s approach has been widely respected for combining technical sophistication with practical operational empathy. This rare ability to move seamlessly between technical AI architecture, legal domain complexity, venture execution, and executive governance makes her one of the most compelling speakers at this year’s AINext Awards & Conference. As a featured speaker, Marylin is expected to share insights on:
  • the future of AI in legal reasoning and regulatory intelligence
  • building trustworthy AI systems for high-stakes industries
  • governance frameworks for healthcare and regulated enterprise adoption
  • how AI can enhance human decision-making rather than replace it
  • the strategic realities of scaling AI ventures in Europe
Her presence at AINext 2026 brings an important global perspective on the future of responsible AI, legal-tech innovation, and institutional transformation. The AINext Awards & Conference, hosted at JW Marriott, Las Vegas, convenes global founders, enterprise leaders, AI innovators, investors, and technology visionaries to explore the next frontier of artificial intelligence across business, infrastructure, governance, healthcare, and society. Marylin’s nomination reflects the event’s commitment to honoring leaders who are not simply adopting AI, but redefining how intelligence systems create long-term value in complex and regulated ecosystems. Her educational background further reinforces the intellectual depth behind her work. She holds degrees from Cornell University and HEC Paris, and is currently completing an Executive Education program in Strategy and Innovation at MIT Sloan, adding global academic rigor to an already exceptional track record of operational excellence. For AINext, Marylin Montoya represents the future of AI-native leadership in Europe—where innovation is measured not by hype, but by resilience, compliance, strategic clarity, and human-centered impact. As both a speaker and award nominee, her recognition at AINext 2026 highlights a broader shift in the AI industry: the move from generalized automation toward domain-specific intelligence systems that respect legal nuance, institutional trust, and long-term human oversight. With Regumint, MMS Ventures, and her healthcare transformation leadership, Marylin continues to prove that the most meaningful AI breakthroughs are not always the loudest—they are the ones that solve the hardest problems where trust matters most.

Pan-African Gaming Taxation & Revenue Summit (PAGTR) 2026
We are pleased to share an important update. The Pan-African Gaming Taxation & Revenue Summit (PAGTR) 2026 will now take place from 9 – 10 September 2026 at the Grand Palm Hotel Casino & Convention Resort in Gaborone, Botswana. We hold the work of the Gaming Regulators Africa Forum (GRAF) in high regard and the role it continues to play in shaping Africa’s regulatory landscape. We are also excited to see the GRAF Conference 2026 taking place in Mozambique from 14 – 17 September 2026, bringing more of the industry together for meaningful conversations. With this in mind, we have adjusted our dates to better align with the broader industry calendar. This creates a valuable opportunity for those travelling from near and far to attend both events, starting in Botswana and continuing on to Mozambique, making the most of a week filled with connection, collaboration, and shared learning. Under the theme “Shaping Smart Tax Policy for a Sustainable Gaming Economy”, the summit will deliver actionable insights, foster cross-border cooperation, and help shape the direction of gaming taxation across Africa for years to come. “From an Alliance perspective, the importance of this symposium lies in fostering coordinated engagement on taxation and regulation. Alignment across stakeholders enables more informed decision-making, supports sustainable tax frameworks, and ultimately strengthens channelisation and market integrity,” said Emolemo Peter Kesitilwe, CEO, African iGaming Alliance. We look forward to a vibrant September, where regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders come together across multiple platforms to move the industry forward. “As an industry, we are strongest when we work together. Greater coordination across our event calendar allows stakeholders from across the continent and beyond to engage more fully, strengthening relationships and ensuring that important conversations continue across multiple platforms.” Moruntshi Kemorwale, Acting CEO, Botswana Gambling Authority At PAGTR, our focus remains on building stronger connections across Africa’s gaming ecosystem. We are truly grateful for the supportive and engaged community that continues to make these conversations meaningful.

Eventus Appoints Priya Ahlawat as Asia Ambassador
Eventus International has reached an exciting new stage in its Global Ambassador initiative, with strong momentum building as the search across Europe and Asia has progressed. Following the appointments of Margarita Cruz as Americas Ambassador and Geoffrey Muindi MCIM as Africa Ambassador, the team has spent the past months engaging closely with industry leaders to find the right voices to complete this global framework. That journey brought Eventus to the 7th Annual SPiCE South Asia, held from 23 – 26 March 2026 at Shangri-La Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was here, through meaningful conversations and real engagement with the region, that the next chapter naturally took shape.

From Search to Selection in Asia

As discussions unfolded, it became clear that Asia needed more than just representation. It needed someone who truly understands both the creative and commercial sides of the industry, and who can navigate the pace and complexity of this market with confidence. We are delighted to announce Priya Ahlawat as Eventus’ Asia Ambassador. Priya Ahlawat is the Founder of Jumping Play Studio and Managing Director at Epic88 India, bringing over 15 years of hands-on experience across gaming, leadership, and studio operations. She has built a studio from the ground up and led teams through the realities of fast-moving, high-growth environments. Her strength lies in balancing creativity with business performance, while building teams that are not only scalable but sustainable. And beyond the boardroom, Priya brings energy that is impossible to miss. Whether leading a team or stepping onto the dance floor, she is a force to be reckoned with, lighting up every room she walks into with a presence that reflects both confidence and authenticity.

Strengthening a Global Vision

The Global Ambassador initiative was created to support Eventus’ growth in key markets while bringing people together across the industry, from regulators and operators to suppliers, investors, and technology partners. As the gaming sector continues to evolve, Eventus International is focused on creating spaces for meaningful dialogue, backed by data, technology, and forward-thinking leadership. With the Americas, Africa, and now Asia represented, the network is becoming stronger, more connected, and better positioned to support collaboration across borders.

Leadership That Matters

Priya’s appointment reflects what this initiative is really about. It is not just about having regional voices, but about working with people who understand how markets grow and what it takes to build them responsibly. Her experience across both operations and creative delivery, along with her ability to build and lead strong teams, makes her a natural fit for this role.

Looking Ahead

With three ambassadors now in place, Eventus is close to completing its global lineup, with Europe to be announced next. The journey continues, and so does the ambition behind it.

The assembly continues.

Troves.fi Launches BTC YOLO Vault: A Smarter Way to Stack Bitcoin on Starknet
Built for the Saylors of the BTC economy, the YOLO Vault uses a value-averaging accumulation strategy to buy aggressively during dips and sit on profits when Bitcoin runs — now live on Troves.fi.

STARKNET ECOSYSTEM, March 2026

Troves.fi, the leading one-click yield aggregator on Starknet, today announced the launch of the BTC YOLO Vault – a fixed-maturity Bitcoin accumulation strategy designed for long-term BTC believers who want a smarter, more systematic way to build their stack. The vault is live now on Troves.fi

Built for the Saylors of the BTC Economy

This vault is a bit special. It is not for traders, not for speculators. It is built for people who believe in the long-term BTC economy — those who see every dip as an opportunity, not a threat. In short: the Michael Saylors of crypto. Instead of a basic dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach, the YOLO Vault employs a value-averaging style accumulation strategy — a technique well-established in traditional finance but almost never implemented in crypto. The result is a vault that automatically gets more aggressive when Bitcoin is cheap and pulls back when it is expensive.

How It Works: Buy the Dip, Sit on the Pump

What that means in practice:
  • When BTC drops: the vault buys much more BTC—deploying capital aggressively to maximize accumulation at lower prices.
  • When BTC is higher, it buys less—conserving capital and reducing the average cost basis.
  • When BTC becomes very expensive, it stops buying entirely—protecting the portfolio and sitting on gains.
Example configuration at current market levels:
  • BTC around $70k: Normal buys — steady accumulation continues as planned.
  • BTC drops to $50k: The vault spends 5-10x more to aggressively stack BTC at the discount.
  • BTC goes very high ($100k+): The vault stops buying — no chasing the top.
📉  BTC down → stack aggressively 📈  BTC up → sit on profits Basically, a system that tries to accumulate the most BTC when it is cheap — automatically, without any manual intervention. “Saylor didn’t stack billions in BTC by playing it safe. He did it with conviction. YOLO Vault is that conviction — automated, on-chain, and working around the clock.”— Venkat, Troves.fi

Why Starknet?

Starknet’s ZK-rollup infrastructure provides the low-cost, high-speed execution environment that makes value-averaging strategies economically viable on-chain. Each rebalancing event — triggered by BTC price movements — incurs minimal gas, enabling the vault to respond quickly without eroding returns.

Get Started on Troves.fi

BTC YOLO Vault is live now. Users can deposit WBTC, set their strategy, and let the vault do the rest. No dashboards to monitor. No manual rebalancing. No timing the market. To access the vault and explore all available strategies, visit Troves.fi. Join the community on Telegram and follow @trovesfi on X for updates.

About Troves.fi

Troves.fi is a decentralised accumulation and yield strategy platform built on Starknet. It offers one-click access to institutional-grade DeFi strategies — from yield aggregation to structured accumulation vaults — making sophisticated on-chain finance accessible to everyone.

UAE Institutional Leaders Gather in Abu Dhabi as Digital Asset Strategy Accelerates Across the Gulf
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates— Senior leaders from global finance, digital asset infrastructure, and regulatory institutions will convene in Abu Dhabi on May 13, 2026, for the inaugural Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi — a highly curated gathering examining the adoption of digital assets under the UAE’s progressive regulatory framework. The forum comes amid rapid institutional momentum across the Gulf. The UAE has emerged as a global leader in digital asset regulation, providing structured licensing regimes, sovereign-backed innovation programs, and a robust ecosystem where banks, asset managers, and institutional investors are actively deploying capital and forming strategic partnerships. Following the successful third edition of Digital Assets Forum in London — which gathered nearly 2,000 senior attendees from global banks, asset managers, and infrastructure providers — the forum now expands to the Middle East at a pivotal moment. “Across our successful London editions, we have seen how regulatory clarity drives institutional engagement,” said Victoria Gago, Co-Founder of Digital Assets Forum. “Abu Dhabi is now at the center of a structural shift in global finance, with capital concentration, infrastructure buildout, and global firms relocating headquarters. This forum brings together the decision-makers who are shaping the future of digital finance and turning strategy into action.” Confirmed institutional speakers include Christoph Richter, Head of Digital Assets & AI at ADGM; Sebastian Widmann, Head of Dubai at Komainu; Karl Naim, Group Chief Commercial Officer at XBTO Middle East; Yan Ma, Executive Director at Spartan Group; Catrina Wang, General Partner at Portal Ventures; Elliot Andrews, CEO of Aspen Digital; and Rachel Conlan, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Binance. DAF Abu Dhabi will examine UAE digital asset regulation versus other jurisdictions, institutional digital asset management and portfolio strategies, stablecoins, payments and CBDCs, DeFi and TradFi integration, real-world asset tokenisation (RWA), the state of crypto ETFs, liquidity, custody and institutional market infrastructure, and institutional risk management frameworks — all with a focus on practical outcomes that enable investment, capital allocation, and partnership execution. Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi is designed as a highly curated, executive-level gathering focused on deal-making, capital deployment, and strategic partnership formation. The format includes main-stage panels, closed-door sessions, dedicated one-to-one meeting areas, and private briefing rooms. The objective is not retail awareness, but to translate dialogue into tangible agreements and coordinated investment strategies for 2026 and beyond.

About Digital Assets Forum

Digital Assets Forum is a global institutional series bridging traditional finance and digital assets. The Abu Dhabi edition marks its expansion into the Middle East, following established editions in London. Launched in 2018 in Barcelona, the European Blockchain Convention — organiser of Digital Assets Forum — has become one of Europe’s leading blockchain platforms for financial institutions, policymakers, and infrastructure providers integrating blockchain into mainstream finance.

Now part of Emerald Expositions’ global portfolio of industry-leading B2B events, the conference has expanded its scale and international reach while remaining under the leadership of its founding team. The 2026 event marks a defining new chapter for Canada’s flagship Web3 and AI gathering. Rather than hosting events in traditional convention centers, Futurist structures its experiences to maximize networking and deal-making and is widely recognized as a place where real business gets done. The conference convenes founders, C-suite executives, institutional investors, policymakers, and business development representatives in an environment intentionally designed for high-value connections. The conference was born at Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar, the largest nightclub and day club venue in North America. This setting unlocks features that most Web3 and AI conferences simply cannot offer. A multi-million-dollar sound and lighting system powers the main stage, unconventional booths designed for conversation, and plenty of spaces to host side events, happy hours, and workshops onsite. One of the conference’s most recognizable features is its signature VIP cabanas. Located on the waterfront with views of Toronto’s skyline, these private spaces are hosted by sponsors to meet with teams, investors, and senior executives. Situated within the VIP area, the cabanas consistently sell out each year, reflecting strong demand for premium, business-focused networking. To book a VIP Cabana please fill out the form here. This concept was proven again in 2025 when the Futurist team expanded to South Florida. The U.S. edition was hosted at a comparable indoor-outdoor nightclub and day club venue, confirming that Futurist’s business development-focused approach resonates beyond Toronto and delivers consistent value in new markets. As Blockchain Futurist Conference returns to Toronto for its ninth edition, the 2026 program is shaping up to be one of its most impactful to date. The conference will cover key topics including Web3 and AI convergence, Canadian and global regulation, the future of finance, payments, and stablecoins, RWAs, and institutional adoption. Among the confirmed speakers for 2026 are:
  • Don Tapscott, Executive Chairman and CEO, Blockchain Research Institute
  • Janet Adams, Board Member, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance
  • Ethan Buchman, CEO, Informal Systems, Cycles
  • Michael Sanders, Sr. Director, Partnerships & Investor Relationships, Polygon
  • Chaddy Huussin, Executive Director, JPMorgan Chase & Co.
  • Eric Turner, CEO, Messari
  • Ada Vaughn, Senior Director of DeFi Partnerships, Stellar Development Foundation
  • Jaime Leverton, CEO, ReserveOne
In addition to its speaker lineup, Blockchain Futurist Conference Toronto 2026 has already confirmed early participation from sponsors actively building the future of Web3 and digital assets. With more speakers and sponsors to be announced in the months ahead, Blockchain Futurist Conference Toronto 2026 marks a defining moment for the event’s ninth year. As Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 conference, it brings together the leaders shaping Web3 and AI in an environment built for meaningful engagement and long-term collaboration, making it a must-attend event on the 2026 conference calendar.
