Devika Toprani

Devika Toprani

💃 Devika Toprani is a systems architect and the founder of Somagraphic Learning™, a research-backed, human-first, AI-supported visual-cognitive framework built around Attempt → Map → Refine.

It helps educators and learners externalize early thinking, make concept relationships visible through a codified visual grammar (Shape-Emotion Grammar™), and refine understanding only after structure is clear (grounded in embodied cognition, cognitive load theory, and human-AI interaction research).

🤖 Unlike AI tools that polish output too early, Somagraphic Learning™ introduces a deliberate orientation layer before AI engagement - positioning AI at the refinement stage, not the starting point. It surfaces the learner's sequence, dependencies, tensions, and conceptual gaps "before" AI assistance arrives - so clarity supports reasoning rather than replacing it.

💪 Long-term vision
Scaling her framework across EdTech, K-12, Higher Education, MedEd, Learning Management Systems, HR Training and Organizational Strategy.

🎯 The goal?
To enhance critical thinking, AI Literacy, Responsible AI, reduce cognitive load and bridge the global CLARITY gap.

🌎 Professional Experience
- Expertise in learning design, workforce strategy, program operations, and analytics
- Built national accreditation systems and competency evaluation pipelines
- Developed centralized learning infrastructure across K-12 and higher education
- Global exposure across Oman, India, the UAE, and the United States

🎓 Education
Devika holds an M.S. in Management & Quantitative Sciences (STEM) with academic foundations in Psychology and Education.

🌸 Perspectives
Devika pioneers the philosophy that "Learning is not AI-made; it is Soul-made." Conceptual clarity begins with the learner's own struggle, and AI enters later for refinement.

🤖 Open to aligned, cross-sector pilots, grants, fellowships and strategic investment partnerships

👩‍🏫 Also available for educational consulting in Somatic AI Literacy and Somagraphic Learning™ across institutions globally

Ronny Hendriks

Ronny Hendriks

Ronny is an Accessibility Expert and owner at Accessible Online, where he's leading accessibility strategy, assessments, and training for organisations across Europe. With over 20 years in the field, he's seen every way accessibility can succeed and fail.
His stance? Accessibility stalls because organisations treat it as nice-to-have advocacy rather than non-negotiable governance. His talks focus on what actually creates lasting change, from mandate and ownership structures to embedding accessibility across design, development, and content teams.

Ronny works across sectors including government, e-commerce, financial services, and telecoms. He's helps organisations navigate the European Accessibility Act, build accessibility maturity programmes, and move beyond audit-driven compliance toward sustainable practices.
He brings both technical depth in WCAG, EN 301 549, and assistive technology testing, along with a wealth of practical experience in organisational transformation. As someone living with hidden disabilities including chronic pain, hearing loss, and ADD, he understands accessibility from multiple angles.

His sessions are practical, honest, and focused on giving attendees something they can put into practice that same day.

Speaking topics: European Accessibility Act readiness, accessibility governance and maturity, accessibility legislation, user research, shifting left in the SDLC, Taking WCAG beyond checklists, building accessibility capability in teams.
