Oyinkansola Onwuchekwa, also known as KKC, is an AI researcher and engineer completing a PhD in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Hull. Her research examines how language technologies handle multilingual and code-mixed text, with a focus on African languages and emotional expression in Afrobeats lyrics.

She is also a singer-songwriter who performs and releases music as KKC. Writing songs informs her research into how computers interpret emotion, language mixing, cultural references, and the ambiguity that gives lyrics their meaning.
Python runs through her work, from preparing datasets and training language models to building research tools and evaluating AI agents.

Her projects include the Low-Resource NLP Toolkit, a Python package for African language processing and code-switching analysis, and SAGE-AI, a prototype for reviewing research literature with traceable evidence and human review.

She has also built a gateway for controlling AI agents’ access to tools and benchmarks for testing whether coding-agent monitors recognise risky actions. Across her work, she asks whose language our software understands and how people can inspect and challenge its decisions.

Dr Alisha is a physician, executive leadership coach and keynote speaker who works at the intersection of medicine, neuroscience and self mastery.

For over a decade she has worked with CEOs, founders, physicians and C-suite leaders, helping these leaders close the gap between external success and internal coherence. Her methodology draws on clinical medicine, heart coherence as well as validated leadership models to help you understand not just how you perform, but the subtle ways that performance degrades under pressure - and what it takes to restore the internal conditions for sustained, clean leadership and execution.

Her work sits deliberately at the edge of what most leadership development brushes over: the body at a cellular level, nervous system engagement and energy, and the alignment between a leader's intelligence fields.

She has spoken globally and she brings the same precision and depth to a keynote stage that she brings to her clinical practice.

Abtin Aghagolian is the Co-Founder and CTO of Pikd (pikd.app), a London based geospatial AR platform that turns the real world into an interactive, privacy first interface for brands and consumers. Pikd has worked with Red Bull, Burger King and the London Design Biennale.

He has been building consumer technology at scale for close to a decade. Before Pikd he founded a venture studio where he grew a team of over 100 people and shipped eleven platforms, including a video on demand service with more than a million users, alongside psychometric ad engines and fan engagement systems. That background is why he argues about privacy from the advertising side of the table rather than against it.

His current work is privacy preserving AI. He holds a UK patent pending invention for context aware augmented reality built on zero knowledge proofs and psychometric context modelling, and is leading a consortium bid into Innovate UK and the Eureka clusters on privacy first smart city infrastructure.

He has spoken at Digital Almaty, Global Tech Wave and Red Bull Basement, where he gave "Don't Build the Future Wrong: Ethics by Design in the Age of Immersive AI". He holds a BSc in Computer Science and Management from the University of St Andrews and a DBA from the University of Tehran.

Focus areas: Artificial Intelligence & Ethics, AI Safety & Governance, Voice AI & Synthetic Trust, Human-AI Interaction, AI Bias & Inclusion, Leadership under Pressure, High-Stakes Decision Making, Negotiation & Influence, Crisis Communication, Autonomic Resilience & Regulation

Member of Global Health HUB Berlin, Global Institute for Negotiation (Zurich) and Women in AI Germany. Has worked with parliamentary groups, politicians and internationally recognised entrepreneurs.

Mareike Kroschel explores the interaction between AI and human voices. Her concept of Subcortical Contact Bias describes why the body trusts AI voices before the mind decides, and what that means for leadership, communication and trust when we can no longer reliably tell voices apart. She also asks how AI voices change the way we listen and speak, and who decides how AI sounds.

Voice is identity. With this idea, Mareike Kroschel founded VoiceDoula Concept. It is not a training but an accompaniment: people listen, pause and let their voice emerge.

Her work rests on three principles. Cognitive: how voice, identity and leadership shape each other. Somatic: breath, body and nervous system as the ground of the voice. Artistic: sound, image and play as a space where the voice can appear. Her work is grounded in her training as a state-certified breath and voice therapist, many years of work in federal health care, and her career as a singer and composer in contemporary and avant-garde music.

She works with leaders (Grounded Voice), organisations (Living Cycles) and founder teams (Pitch Lab), and hosts “The Breath Room”, a space to breathe, listen and arrive.

Ted Johnson is a software architect, entrepreneur, and researcher exploring the future of human-computer interaction in the age of AI. Over the past 25 years, he has built enterprise software and collaboration systems across multiple industries, with a focus on turning complex technology into practical tools that people actually use.

He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science with a focus on human-computer interaction (HCI), intelligent systems, and how people collaborate with technology. Long before the current AI boom, his academic work explored many of the questions that are now re-emerging around usability, intelligence, and human-machine collaboration.

Ted is currently co-founder of JoinIn.ai, where he is researching conversational AI, multi-party interaction, turn-taking, interruption handling, theory of mind, and what it would mean for AI systems to participate naturally in human conversations rather than simply respond to prompts. His work sits at the intersection of HCI, cognitive science, conversation research, and modern AI.

He believes the next major breakthrough in AI may not be smarter models, but more human-compatible interfaces.
