David Viney

David Viney

The poacher and the gamekeeper: 25+ years building enterprise technology at the highest level — WPP, Heathrow, Arup, BBC — and over a decade as a civil society board trustee at Article 19, Privacy International, and the Inspiring Leadership Foundation. The person who built a £250m agentic AI platform (at the world's largest advertising company) is the same person fighting for digital rights and economic empowerment. That tension is what makes the keynotes honest — and what makes David genuinely rare on any speaker roster. Author of two books. Creator of the J-Curve of Change framework, cited across industries for 20+ years. Available for keynotes, panels, and firesides on AI transformation, AI governance, and what responsible leadership actually looks like in practice.

Bill Bensing

Bill Bensing

Bill helps organizations move beyond treating risk as a compliance exercise and instead weave it into how they conduct business. His work focuses on bridging the divide between business and technology so professionals across the enterprise can design, understand, and verify what is actually true.

Bill’s career sits at the intersection of business execution, engineering precision, and governance systems. He began his professional life building and operating complex systems and soon realized that the most significant failures were not technological at all. They were communication failures. Risk, compliance, and audit professionals speak one language. Engineers speak another. The result is friction, delay, and mutual misunderstanding. Rather than accept this divide as inevitable, Bill set out to build a bridge across it.

He calls that bridge Governance Engineering, the application of engineering principles to the systems of uncertainty and accountability that guide modern decisions. In his view, one can design governance as a system, verify it, and continuously improve it, just as with software. Policies become executable specifications, and assurance procedures become repeatable functions. This approach not only makes governance more efficient but also makes it verifiable.

Bill first brought this philosophy to a global audience as co-author of Investments Unlimited (IT Revolution, 2022). The novel reframes how IT organizations approach compliance in the era of DevOps, illustrating how financial institutions can transform regulation from a bottleneck into a catalyst for innovation. The book became a touchstone for technical leaders seeking to move audit and risk from reactive oversight to proactive design.

He continued to explore the intersection of human and digital systems through articles such as “Digital Mirror: Reflecting Changes in GRC with Digital Twins” and “AI-Enabled Digital Twins: Revolutionizing Efficiency for Modern Enterprises” (IT Revolution). In this work, Bill probes more profound questions about technology and trust. His writing bridges philosophy and practice, showing how risk management in the age of AI depends on clarity rather than control.

As a practitioner, Bill has turned these ideas into tangible methods, technology, and tools. He is the creator of NAPE (Not Another Policy Engine), an open-source system that transforms static policy statements into executable assurance logic. With Attestify, he extends that logic into a living ecosystem that enables what he calls Autonomous Assurance, the ability for organizations to continuously prove they are operating as intended, within defined risk tolerances. Together, these projects reflect his conviction that risk and audit should not slow business down, but accelerate it by making trust measurable.

Bill’s work resonates because it speaks to every side of the enterprise conversation. To technologists, he offers a way to make governance tangible, an engineering problem with definable seams, inputs, and outputs. To risk and audit professionals, he provides a way to make technology intelligible, a system that can be reasoned about, proven, and trusted. And to executives, he offers a vision of governance not as a cost of control, but as a source of confidence.

Sławomir Jasiński

I am a Microsoft Power Platform Developer specializing in designing scalable low-code solutions for enterprise environments. In my daily work, I build solutions with Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and SharePoint Online, often integrating the Power Platform with Azure services when low-code capabilities need to be extended with pro-code components.

I have experience in building business applications, automating processes, and implementing governance and ALM practices across organizations of various sizes — from business team solutions to production environments structured around DEV, TEST, and PROD. My work focuses on architectural quality, security, cost control, maintainability, and the long-term reliability of delivered solutions.

Beyond project delivery, I actively share my knowledge as a speaker and trainer. I lead training sessions and workshops on Power Platform, SharePoint, and Power Automate, and I speak at meetups and community conferences across Poland.

I am especially interested in technology adoption, improving the way teams work, and combining low-code and pro-code approaches in a thoughtful and practical way. I believe that the Power Platform is not just a toolset for building “quick apps,” but a mature ecosystem that — with the right architecture and governance — can become a strong foundation for modern business solutions.
