Chad Gerber

Chad Gerber

Chad Gerber is a 10x platinum and gold-selling artist, inventor, and founder of ShadowGen and Meloscene.

As an artist, producer, and composer, Gerber has worked on projects across music, film, television, and interactive media. His background in sound and technology has also played a major role in the systems he builds today.

Gerber is the founder of ShadowGen, where he is developing communication technology designed to keep voice working in extremely low-bandwidth and unreliable network environments. The technology has been tested outside the lab in real-world field conditions, including environments where conventional voice communication becomes impractical.

He is also the founder of Meloscene, an immersive collaboration platform that gives artists and creators a shared virtual space to work together remotely.

Gerber continues to work across music, immersive technology, AI, and communication systems. His talks focus on what he has actually built and learned along the way, from creative technology and immersive environments to the challenges of building communication systems that have to work when networks don't.

He has presented his work in Washington, D.C. and internationally, and has appeared on the BBC and other media.

Maurice Cherry

Maurice Cherry

Maurice Cherry is an award-winning creative leader, editorial strategist, and cultural producer whose work sits at the intersection of storytelling, technology, media, and design. For more than 25 years, he has built platforms, creative systems, and bodies of work that turn ideas into meaningful experiences for audiences. His approach combines editorial judgment, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how communities form around stories—particularly stories and perspectives that traditional creative industries have too often overlooked.

Across writing, design, podcasting, voice acting, and creative strategy, Maurice's work is connected by a consistent idea: good creative work needs more than execution. It needs a point of view, an audience, and a system that allows it to endure. That philosophy is perhaps best represented by Revision Path, the groundbreaking podcast he created to document the experiences of Black designers, developers, and digital creatives. Revision Path made history as the first podcast inducted into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). His other independent projects—including the Black Weblog Awards, 28 Days of the Web, The Year of Tea, and the design anthology RECOGNIZE—similarly reflect a career spent creating spaces for ideas, people, and communities that deserve greater attention.

His design work, advocacy, and projects have garnered acclaim from leading organizations and publications, including Apple, Adobe, NPR, Forbes, and Fast Company. Most recently, in 2025, he was honored as one of the Eames Institute's Curious 100, recognizing his innovative contributions to reframing perspectives, amplifying voices, and inspiring action. He served as the Maryland Institute College of Art's 2021 William O. Steinmetz designer-in-residence, and in 2018, he received the Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary from AIGA, was named one of GDUSA’s “People to Watch,” and was included in The Root 100, their annual list of the most influential African-Americans ages 25 to 45. That same year, Creative Loafing Atlanta recognized him as one of their Influentials in the fields of business and technology. Earlier in his career, Maurice was named one of Atlanta’s “Power 30 Under 30″ in Science and Technology by the Apex Society and was selected as one of HP’s “50 Tech Tastemakers” in collaboration with Black Web 2.0. He is also a valued executive member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

Maurice’s approach to design strategy, problem solving, and creative systems is grounded in analytical thinking developed through his studies at Morehouse College, where he earned a degree in Mathematics.

I’m a Full-Stack Developer with 2+ years of experience building high-performance, pixel-perfect web applications that combine engineering precision with creative expression. I specialize in developing responsive, scalable systems with a strong focus on UI, motion, and real-time interactivity, crafting experiences that are not only functional but intuitive and visually refined across devices.

Salvatore Contino

I build Typewrite, a writing environment that treats a screenplay as structured data — a graph of scenes, characters and relations — instead of a text document. Most of my engineering time goes into the two hard parts: a page engine written from scratch on ProseMirror, and a context layer that decides what a model is allowed to see and where every token came from.

I didn't come from computer science. I came from design and film school, and I learned to code because the tool I needed didn't exist.

On stage I talk about what broke before it worked: the benchmarks, the costs, and the architectures I threw away.
