Speaker 1 - Ryan Findlay - “Translators Wanted: Why the Future Belongs to Those Who Can Bridge Tech and Business.”

Ryan bridges the gap between technology, product, and business. A hands-on strategist with experience leading architecture, R&D, and product functions, he’s built a career on turning complexity into clarity and helping leaders align technical depth with commercial impact. Today, he advises startups, scale-ups, and enterprises on how to design and deliver products — including AI-driven solutions — that actually work.

💡 In his talk, Ryan explores the widening gap between technical execution and business understanding — and why the people who can bridge it will define the next decade. Drawing on real stories from startups, scale-ups, and enterprise AI initiatives, Ryan unpacks what it really takes to align tech, product, and commercial strategy in an AI-first world — from building systems people can trust, to translating complexity into clarity that drives results.

Speaker 2 - Kevin Stewart - “Agentic AI Software Steps Into the Labour Market.”

*In 2011, Marc Andreessen famously declared, "Software is eating the world." But he wasn’t entirely right: software mostly just handled storing and retrieving information, until now.*

*Agentic AI marks a seismic shift. We’re entering an era where AI-enabled software steps into skilled roles, performing tasks once exclusive to humans. As AI enters the labour market, we stand on the brink of one of the most profound transformations in work, society, and economics since the Industrial Revolution.*

*In this talk, Kevin will outline the strategic, operational, and cultural challenges leaders need to overcome to succeed in the Intelligence Era. Combining sharp insights with practical guidance, it promises to be a lively and engaging session for anyone thinking about the future of work.*
