Joe Monastiero is the founder and CEO of visualAI, which builds discoverGPT, a 360 degree AI commerce discovery developer platform with a REST API and 29 MCP tools supporting the deployment of trimodal search, virtual try-on and image composition, data cleaning and enrichment and the generation of universal agentic catalog feeds.

He has spent 25 years on the commercial side of technology companies. He co-founded Intervideo, which IPO'd on NASDAQ as IVII and was later acquired by Corel, and co-founded appMobi, acquired by Intel. From 2013 to 2020 he built nFlate/SiBi, one of the first multimodal visual search marketplaces for fashion, with discovery by photo, screenshot, color and text. It was roughly a decade early. visualAI is the version of that thesis with the model maturity and data plane to actually ship, and is the subject of a 34-claim pending patent.

The unusual part is that this time he wrote it. Trained as a chemical engineer and never employed as a software engineer, he built visualAI's production stack himself alongside Claude over 16 months: an AI search and retrieval engine deployed on GCP, layer on Google Vertex AI, scheduled pipelines on Cloud Run, a public REST API and an MCP server.

He speaks on commerce discovery architecture, multimodal retrieval, solo entrepreneurship, and AI-native development best practices.

Irina Talbot est Lead Fonctionnelle spécialisée en expérience client et IA. Dix ans à piloter des projets complexes - en mode manager, en mode player, rarement l'un sans l'autre. Sa spécialité non officielle : les missions transverses où il faut faire converger des équipes qui ne se parlent plus et des outils qui n'atterrissent pas.

Ce qui fait échouer un projet, c'est rarement la technique. C'est ce que personne n'a dit à voix haute.

Sur l'IA générative, elle ne commente pas - elle construit. Elle a vibecodé ses outils et son propre site, participé à un hackathon IA de 48h. Entre lire des articles et livrer quelque chose qui tourne, elle a fait son choix.

Evan Kirstein works in financial-sector information security, running a day-to-day security program under federal examination: governance, risk and compliance, identity, data protection, and the AI-assessment work that now comes attached to all of it. They research passive RF systems alongside that. Their MARVIN project uses receive-only Wi-Fi and Bluetooth observation to study networked license-plate-reader infrastructure, with no probing, no association, and no credential capture by design.

At Wild West Hackin' Fest Deadwood 2026 they are scheduled to teach a two-hour MARVIN workshop and co-host the RF Village. Evan also teaches access governance for SaaS, guest and AI-agent identities, affordable cybersecurity practice, and emergency communications built on drones and LoRa mesh networks, most recently in a July 2026 Antisyphon Anti-Cast with Luke Canfield. They have briefed state legislators at the Colorado State Capitol on AI risk, data privacy and cybercrime.

Evan holds an M.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University, writes for The Cybersleuth Chronicles, and co-founded Study GRC, a nonprofit offering free governance, risk and compliance training, where they serve as security lead and a board member. They are an FCC-licensed amateur radio operator, KJ5MCN, and an ARES emergency communications volunteer. Outside all of that: homelabs, tabletop and video games, cars, motorcycles, and karaoke.

For the past five years, I have been an Engineering Director at XING. I care about creating the shared understanding that lets business, product and technology work as one system. When people can see how their work connects, high-performing teams can emerge and the organisation has a better chance of improving the outcomes that matter.

I have always loved software architecture, especially when it helps us make better decisions rather than becoming an end in itself. Domain-Driven Design has been a practical tool for me: a way to continuously evolve software architecture, team boundaries and organisational ownership as the business changes.

More recently, I have embraced the new wave of AI-enabled software development. I am exploring what AI-native teams and organisations could look like, with the same interest in shared context, clear responsibilities and safe ways of changing complex systems.

At heart, I am a pragmatic systems thinker with an entrepreneurial background who enjoys working through complex challenges.

He has founded multiple companies and played a key role in structuring transactions with a combined value exceeding one billion dollars. His professional background includes mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, reverse mergers, capital strategy, and business development.

That early experience gave him practical insight into entrepreneurship, business operations, and growth strategy. In 2007, he co-founded a digital transcription company that served professionals in the legal, medical, academic, and business sectors across the United States. The platform became known for reliable service, accuracy, and efficient delivery while building a steady client base.

Josh Bartch expanded his investment and advisory experience in 2011 by launching a private firm focused on supporting early-stage and growth-stage businesses. The firm worked across multiple industries and helped companies address funding needs, build strategic relationships, and prepare for initial public offerings and other public market opportunities. His work involved collaborating directly with leadership teams to develop practical plans aligned with immediate business objectives and longer-term growth goals.

Josh established MavDB Consulting, LLC after relocating to Puerto Rico in 2020. The firm works closely with executive teams and provides guidance on capital markets, investor relations, financing strategy, cross-border listings, and business development.

He also supports organizations serving veterans and first responders and contributes to Boxing Bullies, a youth-focused nonprofit in Puerto Rico that uses boxing to help young people develop confidence, discipline, leadership, and other personal skills in supportive environments.

Josh enjoys golf and travel outside of his professional responsibilities.

These interests complement his professional involvement in international markets and help broaden his understanding of different environments, ideas, and approaches to business.

Josh Bartch studied finance and general academic subjects at Colorado State University and the Metropolitan State University of Denver. He now resides in Puerto Rico with his son Maverick and continues to work as an entrepreneur, investor, and advisor.

For over a decade she has worked with CEOs, founders, physicians and C-suite leaders, helping these leaders close the gap between external success and internal coherence. Her methodology draws on clinical medicine, heart coherence as well as validated leadership models to help you understand not just how you perform, but the subtle ways that performance degrades under pressure - and what it takes to restore the internal conditions for sustained, clean leadership and execution.

Her work sits deliberately at the edge of what most leadership development brushes over: the body at a cellular level, nervous system engagement and energy, and the alignment between a leader's intelligence fields.
