Hani Kafoury is a speaker, psychologist, executive coach, and former senior business leader who helps individuals, leaders, and organizations build resilience, navigate change, and unlock their potential.

After more than 30 years in senior leadership roles within multinational organizations, Hani became a licensed psychologist in his 50s and recently completed a doctoral dissertation examining the determinants of psychological resilience in business leaders during times of adversity and major change. This unique combination of executive leadership experience, psychological expertise, and doctoral-level research enables him to bridge the gap between leadership theory and the realities leaders face every day.

A passionate advocate for lifelong growth and reinvention, Hani's message is grounded not only in research and professional experience, but also in lived experience. He has run several marathons, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and produced a documentary about the experience that was nominated at several independent film festivals, completed a full IRONMAN triathlon and a Spartan obstacle race, built a second career as a psychologist, and completed a doctoral dissertation in his 60s.

A contributor to the Montreal Gazette and industry publications, and a television guest on the topics of mindfulness and wellbeing, Hani is known for his dynamic presence, compelling storytelling, and ability to translate complex ideas into practical action.

Through his presentations, audiences gain evidence-based strategies to strengthen resilience, adapt successfully to change, enhance wellbeing, and lead with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Brian Fletcher is a seasoned technology executive and co-founder of FM, where he's betting that AI-assisted development can make software faster, smarter, and a lot more interesting. Over two decades leading engineering teams at global agencies and consultancies, he has delivered digital platforms and products for Google, CNN, Aon, and Lowe's, across healthcare, government, telecom, and most other industry verticals.

In 2024, Brian stood on a SXSW stage and made a claim that sounded like science fiction: interfaces that build themselves in real time, reshaping around each user as they go. A year later, the fiction is catching up. At Render, he checks back in on Realtime Generative UIs to ask what's actually working, what's still hard, and how designers and developers can start building experiences that break free of the static template.

Ukrainian living in Sweden, applying engineering mindset for processes creation.
