Pari Patel is the Founder and CEO of Zone and a speaker on human intelligence, neurotechnology, and the future of computing.

At a moment when billions are being invested in making machines more intelligent, Pari is asking a different question: what are we doing to make humans more capable?

She founded Zone around the belief that the human mind represents one of technology's last great blind spots. We can measure our sleep, heart rate, movement, glucose, and recovery, yet most people have almost no objective understanding of how their own minds change throughout the day. Pari leads Zone's effort to change that by building technology at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces, consumer hardware, and AI. She holds 18+ USPTO patents across EEG and BCI technologies, and her work has been featured by TechCrunch and Yahoo Finance.

Onstage, Pari explores what happens when AI stops being technology we simply interact with and begins adapting to the human on the other side of the screen, and why the next computing revolution may be as much about understanding ourselves as building more powerful machines.

Nathan Smith Sawyer, ND, grew up near Minot, North Dakota, where farm life helped form his understanding of responsibility, patience, and consistent work. His family’s agricultural background goes back more than five generations, giving him early experience around grain production, cattle operations, and land management. By observing how the family operation was run, he learned that trust, planning, and strong relationships were important to long-term success. These early lessons later influenced his work in agriculture, business, and land development.

Nate Smith pursued a degree in Agricultural Economics at a university in his home state, where he developed a better understanding of markets, farm operations, and financial planning. His business experience began early, including a truck resale venture he started while still in high school. By age twenty, he was regularly selling refurbished trucks while gaining experience in gravel hauling, farm equipment resale, and residential property purchases. These early efforts helped him build practical judgment and a careful approach to opportunity.

Nathan became responsible for the family farming operation in 1999, when it included about 460 leased acres. Through steady planning and daily management, he helped guide the operation through many years of growth. Over time, the business expanded to more than 30,000 acres of farmland, along with cattle and feed operations. He also supported additional land acquisitions in Montana. His leadership remained connected to the values he learned from family farming, including reliability, persistence, and respect for the land.

Realtor Nathan Smith continued strengthening the agricultural business by focusing on efficiency, financial awareness, and trusted local relationships. During the early 2000s, retiring farmers in the area created opportunities for additional leases and land purchases. He worked to approach those opportunities carefully while maintaining respect for landowners, producers, and community members. He also used market analysis tools and hedge accounts to help manage exposure to changing commodity prices. This approach allowed him to balance expansion with the risks involved in agriculture.

Nathan later moved into real estate development after seeing housing needs connected to regional economic changes around 2011. His development work included residential projects such as townhomes, duplexes, and housing planned for growing communities. Some projects were intended to support seasonal agricultural workers, while others addressed broader local housing demand across several western states. His work also included mountain-area properties, allowing him to use his experience with land, planning, and investment in a different business setting.

Nathan Michael Smith expanded his development responsibilities in 2024 by becoming a managing partner at a real estate development company. In that role, he focuses on reviewing land opportunities, studying economic trends, evaluating financial details, and supporting long-term project planning. His background in farming and land operations gives him a practical view of development decisions. He continues to focus on projects that may offer lasting value while also considering useful community needs, local conditions, and responsible growth.

Nathan Smith Sawyer, ND, remains involved in community service and agricultural organizations beyond his business work. He has served on a hospital foundation board, participated in a local chamber of commerce, and supported wheat grower groups at both state and national levels. His involvement has also included youth and winter sports organizations. Through his continued work in farming, development, and service, he remains focused on steady progress, practical planning, and support for communities connected to agriculture, housing, and future generations.
