Our founders lost at chess in Cannes. They insist it was on purpose. At the invite-only Selini Summit, they sat down across the board from Jordi Alexander. The way they tell it, they threw the game so we could get Jordi to Abu Dhabi. They have also been practising at least three games a day ever since. We're not saying the two facts are connected. We're saying their version has holes in it. Either way, it worked. And word is that Selini is bringing a chess moment of its own to the Louvre Abu Dhabi. More on that soon. But first, the man of the hour. You might know him from his game theory threads on X, or from the Steady Lads podcast. Jordi Alexander @gametheorizing, Founder and CEO of Selini Capital @SeliniCapital, is confirmed for Proof of Talk Abu Dhabi. He runs a digital asset trading and investing firm and invests as an angel across frontier technologies. At the Louvre Abu Dhabi he's taking on one of the harder questions on the board: the tokenization of AI investments. Capital is pouring into AI. The rails to represent, fund and trade that value onchain are being built right now, by people who have to be right about both halves of the sentence. He'll be with us for both days. Whether our founders get their rematch is another question.

The CEO of a $1.7 trillion firm made us a promise in Paris. Then she moved her calendar to keep it. Well , all marketing aside, this is the real stuff you need to see from a leader! In June, on our main stage at the Louvre in Paris, Jenny Johnson told us: "If you do an event in Abu Dhabi, I will come again." We took it as advice. Six months and one Louvre later, she is the first speaker we are announcing for Proof of Talk Abu Dhabi. Paris was a full day for her. She announced a tokenisation partnership with MoonPay from our stage, went live on Bloomberg Crypto with Adam Back from inside the museum, and left us a one line review: "Proof of Talk is an incredibly efficient use of time." Abu Dhabi Finance Week opens days after we close, so the efficient plan was one trip. She is making two. In for a day with us, out again, back for ADFW. Her calendar objected. She overruled it! Franklin Templeton @FranklnTempletn manages around $1.7 trillion. Time is still the one asset with no secondary market, and she is spending a day of it keeping her word. Nobody would have held a CEO of her stature to one sentence said in Paris. She held herself to it. That is the example we want our own team to see. Her bio is below and it is a serious one. What we will remember is simpler: she said she would come, and she is coming. Integrity and kindness, in a world that could use more of both. YOLO, but make it fiduciary. About Jenny Johnson - President and CEO of Franklin Templeton, CEO since February 2020 More than 35 years at the firm, with leadership roles in every major division, including Chief Operating Officer, Co-President and Chief Information Officer Led the acquisitions of Legg Mason, Putnam Investments, Lexington Partners and Alcentra - Franklin's OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund, known as BENJI, was the first US-registered mutual fund to record share ownership on a public blockchain Director of Thermo Fisher Scientific, and a member of the International Advisory Panel of the Monetary Authority of Singapore - Forbes' World's 100 Most Powerful Women four years running, and a 2026 CNBC Changemaker - Many of the firms joining us in December are deciding whether to build or buy their way into what comes next. She has done both, at scale. Worth finding in Abu Dhabi. Speaker 1 of 120. Proof of Talk · Louvre Abu Dhabi · 3 and 4 December 2026 Request your access: link in the first comment.

The right people, close enough to talk. Proof of Talk · Louvre Abu Dhabi · December 3 & 4

On 2 December, Abu Dhabi turns 55. A hundred years ago this coast traded pearls. Today its sovereign funds hold 1.7 trillion dollars, more than any other city on earth. "The Capital of Capital" was never a slogan here. It is the status quo. For fifty years that capital flowed outward and built things somewhere else. Now the direction has reversed. In a world splitting into blocs, Abu Dhabi has become the one address all sides still take the meeting. The building we are borrowing, the Louvre, argues it better than we can. The first universal museum in the Arab world, built on a single idea: every civilisation belongs in the same room. That is also our idea. Smaller room. Same conviction. We were met with open arms. We intend to leave this city better than we found it, starting with the quality of the conversations held inside it. On 3 December, we open the doors at the Louvre. Proof of Talk. Louvre Abu Dhabi.
