I went from writing my first lines of code to co-founding INTELLI-T, and somewhere along the way, I discovered that the hardest bugs to fix aren't in your codebase. They're in how developers think about their craft and their career. I help developers grow beyond the keyboard: navigating interviews, stepping into leadership, and building the career they actually want. At INTELLI-T, we bring that same mindset to .NET projects, turning great developers into trusted partners for our clients.

Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse

Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse

Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse speaks and runs workshops on two connected topics: AI leadership — governance, collaboration models, and the organisational redesign that AI demands — and agentic software development — agents in the delivery workflow, structured methods like BMAD, quality gates, and what it changes about roles and reviews.

His claim: AI changes who does the work, who reviews it, and who is accountable — and most organisations have redesigned none of the three. His sessions give leaders and product development teams the models to make that redesign explicit: The 3 Collaboration Models, Your Agent Architecture Is Your Org Chart, Delegate / Redesign / Protect, and the AI Strategy Canvas.

He builds AI agent systems himself — today he is building again, full circle: agentic software engineering and product development. He doesn't claim to be the expert; the field is too new and moves too fast. What he brings is what twenty years of navigating complexity taught him, everything he learns from building, and the willingness to say what doesn't work yet.

Sessions are never pure slide talks: every one has a story, a live element, and puts the room to work — grounded in ten years of facilitation with Liberating Structures and Training from the Back of the Room. Recent stages: Agile2025 Denver, the Dutch AI Conference Amsterdam, and AI Summit Brussels — on a decade of European and US conference stages. Behind it: twenty years as a consultant through nearly every seat in the product development chain, and the highest international training and coaching credentials (CST & CEC, Scrum Alliance).

All sessions available in English and Dutch. Speaker kit, room requirements, and copy-ready program descriptions: value-first.be

Deepak Wadhwani

Deepak Wadhwani

Deepak Wadhwani is a New Delhi-based speaker and entrepreneur known as the Business Buddha — a philosophy built on a simple premise: ambition guided by awareness, and calm as a leadership strategy, not a compromise on it.

As a speaker, Deepak has taken the stage at TEDx with "The Art of Persuasion," a talk built around a counter-intuitive idea — that real influence comes not from being louder, but from being clearer. He regularly speaks at business forums, leadership events, and entrepreneur communities on persuasion, conscious leadership, and the discipline of staying still in fast-moving industries. His talks are conversations, not performances — reflective, direct, and built around the question rooms full of business owners are usually too busy to ask themselves.
He is also a frequent voice on podcasts, where his unscripted, in-conversation style has become one of his most recognized formats — long-form discussions on business, persuasion, and leadership where the value lies in honest thinking rather than rehearsed answers.

Alongside his speaking work, Deepak is the founder of Natraj Home Furnishings and serves as India Growth Director for The Alternative Board (TAB), where he advises CEOs and business owners directly. He also runs the Chirag Foundation, a nonprofit established in memory of his late brother.

His core message across stages, podcasts, and boardrooms remains the same: build without noise. The most important decisions are rarely made in urgency — they're made in stillness, after the noise settles.
