Matthew Burleigh

Matt wrote his first program in Fortran on a card punch machine in the early 80s. He survived the experience and moved on to use Toolbook, Delphi, VB, and finally the .Net framework for the last 15 years. He still gets twitchy when someone mentions DCOM or CORBA and doesn't want to get into a discussion about where curly braces should go.

He is currently a Software Development Manager at Bally Sports focusing on Azure; previously he was a Senior Developer at Pandora Jewelry and a Lead Developer at Constellation/Exelon.

Pascal van Knijff

Pascal van Knijff

Pascal B. van Knijff is an entrepreneur, technology strategist, and international keynote speaker with more than 30 years of experience at the intersection of digital innovation, blockchain, artificial intelligence, institutional finance, and sustainability.

As Founder and Managing Partner of KARBNZ Global, Pascal is leading the development of a next-generation Natural Capital Platform that integrates blockchain, artificial intelligence, satellite intelligence, digital Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV), biomass, biochar, and institutional climate finance to transform natural assets into transparent, verifiable, and investable infrastructure.

Through KARBNZ Global and its experienced Brazilian operating partners, Pascal is helping develop one of the world's most ambitious integrated natural capital platforms, combining ecological restoration, sustainable forestry, biomass, biochar, digital MRV, and institutional finance into a scalable investment model. His work provides first-hand insight into how blockchain, AI, and trusted data can enable transparency, continuous verification, and long-term stewardship across complex environmental assets at a scale relevant to institutional investors, governments, and global climate initiatives.

His work reflects a broader transformation in global climate finance; from standalone carbon credit projects to diversified natural capital platforms that integrate ecological restoration with sustainable timber, biomass, biochar, biodiversity, and high-integrity environmental markets. This vision was recently featured by CarbonCredits.com in "Beyond Carbon Credits: How KARBNZ Global Is Building a Natural Capital Platform Around Forests, Biomass, and Biochar."

Pascal has long advocated for applying blockchain beyond digital assets, positioning it as the trust infrastructure for Real World Assets (RWAs). His work explores how blockchain, AI, autonomous agents, satellite intelligence, and digital twins can create continuous verification, transparent governance, and institutional-grade investment frameworks for climate infrastructure and sustainable finance.

An experienced international speaker, Pascal has presented at leading blockchain and innovation conferences, including BLOCKCHANCE Europe, and EU's inaugural Blockchain Convergence, sharing insights on blockchain adoption, tokenization, digital transformation, Web3, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies.

Today, Pascal is recognized for bridging technology with practical implementation, translating complex concepts into actionable strategies for governments, institutional investors, enterprises, and innovators. His presentations challenge audiences to think beyond tokenization and explore how AI and blockchain together can build the trusted digital infrastructure that underpins the next generation of Real World Assets and the global natural capital economy.
