Christian Alexander Schreiber

Christian Alexander Schreiber

Christian Alexander Schreiber is the CEO & Founder and Lead Architect of nVibes, a next-generation European social platform based in Dresden, Germany, built around one central idea: Real Vibe. Real People.

With nVibes, Christian is building a social infrastructure for real human connection — a platform designed not for endless scrolling, but to help people feel less alone, find belonging, build trusted communities and create meaningful moments beyond the screen.

https://nvibes.de brings together social interaction, communities, events, real-world activities and intelligent digital experiences while placing privacy, trust, responsible AI and European digital sovereignty at the foundation of the platform.

With more than 30 years of experience in IT consulting, software architecture, Microsoft technologies and digital transformation, Christian combines deep technical expertise with the perspective of a technology founder building a new digital platform from Europe.

His work focuses on the intersection of human-centered technology, responsible and agentic AI, privacy-by-design, digital identity, platform trust, cloud architecture and European technological sovereignty. He explores how AI and modern platforms can strengthen human interaction instead of replacing it — and how technology can create genuine value when it is designed around people rather than attention.

Christian also speaks about AI-ready Azure architectures, responsible AI adoption, secure digital platforms, agentic systems and the practical realities of turning an ambitious technology vision into a real product.

As an international speaker, he brings together strategic leadership, hands-on architecture and real-world startup experience. His sessions are practical, technically grounded and driven by a clear conviction:

The future of social technology should not be about keeping people on a screen. It should help bring people together.

nVibes — Real Vibe. Real People.

Duncan Boyne

Duncan Boyne

I'm a Power BI consultant and AI strategist with a background in turning messy, real-world data into something people actually want to use.

These days my work sits across Power BI, Fabric and AI: semantic models, report design, governance, and how AI actually fits on top of your data. I'm AI Strategist at Tugger, and I still take on freelance Power BI and data strategy work alongside it. The goal hasn't changed: helping organisations move from "we have data" to "we trust our data", and making complex things feel simple.

Outside of work, community is the bit I care about most. I run the Norfolk Power Platform User Group and the East of England Summit, and I speak at user groups and conferences across the UK and further afield.

My sessions are practical, honest, and based on lessons learned the hard way, with a focus on things you can apply the next day.

Arik Fletcher

Arik Fletcher

Arik Fletcher spends his career building things that make expertise, community and opportunity more accessible, in technology and beyond.

Over more than 25 years, that has meant moving from hands-on infrastructure and engineering into strategic consulting leadership, winning over £10m in competitive technology tenders, building and scaling a global technology PMO, and designing and delivering technical solutions for thousands of users across education, non-profit, SME and enterprise sectors. His current focus spans cyber security, AI strategy and adoption, cloud infrastructure, and governance, risk and compliance, delivered through fractional CIO, CTO, CISO and DPO leadership that gives organisations senior expertise they could not otherwise afford, alongside AI-augmented delivery models and a platform-agnostic evaluation methodology that have doubled consulting capacity and returned three to five times ROI for clients.

The same instinct to build access and community runs through everything else he does. He founded Greyface Guild, a community interest company built around the same principle: that creative and community work should be diverse, accessible and open to more people. Under its umbrella sit the Techie Brunch Club, a technologist community of over 1,000 members; South Devon Sound, a community radio station he funded and helped develop, giving local artists and presenters a platform; and Greyface Games, an indie studio building games and stories in its own Discordian Tales universe with accessibility and inclusive design built in from the first design document. He has spoken at game development industry events on that work.

He carries the same mentoring instinct into his professional life: as London Regional Lead for the Microsoft Global Community Initiative, a British Computer Society member and mentor, a Chartered Institute of Information Security member, a career coach for Ada, the National Digital Skills College, and a mentor and speaker with the London CTOs.

Christian Bonzelet

It was 2013 when we built a real-time voting system for a German live TV show on AWS. That project turned me into a builder who cares about one thing: shipping software that solves a real business problem. The code was only ever how we got there.

Today I lead the Bundesliga ContentHub at Bundesliga as Tech Lead and Engineering Manager, a cross-functional team of engineers, a product owner, and designers. My conviction: every builder on the team, not just the engineers, should be able to ship production code with AI-assisted software engineering.

I am an AWS DevTools Hero and the founder of promptz.dev. I write and speak about agentic engineering with Kiro. Not only what the tool can do in theory (spec-driven development, context as currency), but what it actually looks like when a real cross-functional team builds software with it. The PR that got reverted, the process that had to change, the designer who shipped her first backend change.

If you are a builder in the AWS community, or a lead trying to bring AI-assisted engineering into your team, this is where I share what works and what breaks.

In 2026 The PPC Survey ranked him No. 6 among the 50 Most Influential PPC Experts in the world. At ADworld Experience 2024 his case won Best PPC Case in Europe (PPC Caesars Award).

Maurice Cherry

Maurice Cherry

Maurice Cherry is an award-winning creative leader, editorial strategist, and cultural producer whose work sits at the intersection of storytelling, technology, media, and design. For more than 25 years, he has built platforms, creative systems, and bodies of work that turn ideas into meaningful experiences for audiences. His approach combines editorial judgment, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how communities form around stories—particularly stories and perspectives that traditional creative industries have too often overlooked.

Across writing, design, podcasting, voice acting, and creative strategy, Maurice's work is connected by a consistent idea: good creative work needs more than execution. It needs a point of view, an audience, and a system that allows it to endure. That philosophy is perhaps best represented by Revision Path, the groundbreaking podcast he created to document the experiences of Black designers, developers, and digital creatives. Revision Path made history as the first podcast inducted into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). His other independent projects—including the Black Weblog Awards, 28 Days of the Web, The Year of Tea, and the design anthology RECOGNIZE—similarly reflect a career spent creating spaces for ideas, people, and communities that deserve greater attention.

His design work, advocacy, and projects have garnered acclaim from leading organizations and publications, including Apple, Adobe, NPR, Forbes, and Fast Company. Most recently, in 2025, he was honored as one of the Eames Institute's Curious 100, recognizing his innovative contributions to reframing perspectives, amplifying voices, and inspiring action. He served as the Maryland Institute College of Art's 2021 William O. Steinmetz designer-in-residence, and in 2018, he received the Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary from AIGA, was named one of GDUSA’s “People to Watch,” and was included in The Root 100, their annual list of the most influential African-Americans ages 25 to 45. That same year, Creative Loafing Atlanta recognized him as one of their Influentials in the fields of business and technology. Earlier in his career, Maurice was named one of Atlanta’s “Power 30 Under 30″ in Science and Technology by the Apex Society and was selected as one of HP’s “50 Tech Tastemakers” in collaboration with Black Web 2.0. He is also a valued executive member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

Maurice’s approach to design strategy, problem solving, and creative systems is grounded in analytical thinking developed through his studies at Morehouse College, where he earned a degree in Mathematics.

Me llamo David Amorin Garcia, tengo 32 años y me dedico a la comunicación desde los 15. Como amante de las tecnologías y de transmitir conocimiento, me gradué en Teatro a la par que me formaba en aspectos relacionados con el SEO y los datos. Aproveché durante varios años la ventana que me ofrecía YouTube y Twitch para mostrar las aptitudes que iba adquiriendo y compartirlas con la audiencia. A principios de 2022 decidí entrar en el mundo empresarial para aportar todo lo que había aprendido durante todos estos años y así poder ayudar a los demás.
