Christian Alexander Schreiber is the CEO & Founder and Lead Architect of nVibes, a next-generation European social platform based in Dresden, Germany, built around one central idea: Real Vibe. Real People.

With nVibes, Christian is building a social infrastructure for real human connection — a platform designed not for endless scrolling, but to help people feel less alone, find belonging, build trusted communities and create meaningful moments beyond the screen.

https://nvibes.de brings together social interaction, communities, events, real-world activities and intelligent digital experiences while placing privacy, trust, responsible AI and European digital sovereignty at the foundation of the platform.

With more than 30 years of experience in IT consulting, software architecture, Microsoft technologies and digital transformation, Christian combines deep technical expertise with the perspective of a technology founder building a new digital platform from Europe.

His work focuses on the intersection of human-centered technology, responsible and agentic AI, privacy-by-design, digital identity, platform trust, cloud architecture and European technological sovereignty. He explores how AI and modern platforms can strengthen human interaction instead of replacing it — and how technology can create genuine value when it is designed around people rather than attention.

Christian also speaks about AI-ready Azure architectures, responsible AI adoption, secure digital platforms, agentic systems and the practical realities of turning an ambitious technology vision into a real product.

As an international speaker, he brings together strategic leadership, hands-on architecture and real-world startup experience. His sessions are practical, technically grounded and driven by a clear conviction:

The future of social technology should not be about keeping people on a screen. It should help bring people together.
