Chris Lloyd-Jones

Chris Lloyd-Jones

I'm VP of AI Consulting Transformation at Kyndryl, where I created the Forward Deployed Engineering capability - engineers embedded with clients to build, ship, and own outcomes, not just advise; now scaling to 22,000. I focus on agentic AI, open source, and governance that ships rather than stalls.

I've been recognised six times as a Microsoft MVP in Artificial Intelligence, and I'm a contributor to ISO/IEC 21031:2024 (Software Carbon Intensity) through my work with the Green Software Foundation, where I formerly served as Steering Committee Vice-Chair. I'm currently pursuing a doctorate in Green Software Engineering at the University of East London (2022-2027) and was an OpenUK New Year's Honours 2025/26 recipient for contributions to open source.

I co-host Securing the Realm, a D&D-inspired podcast on AI governance and AI-driven development (securing.quest). My background spans law, engineering, and open source leadership - I think about regulation, liability, and compliance as design constraints, not afterthoughts. I stay hands-on, building with agentic AI, open source tooling, and green software.

Paul Swider

Paul Swider

30 years building tools that add hours back to a clinician's day
CEO at RealActivity | AI Pioneer | BOSHUG Founder | Microsoft Keynoter

I've spent my career at the intersection of healthcare and technology, not talking about AI transformation, but actually building it. In 2001, I designed a symbolic AI triage engine that eliminated pre-op anesthesia visits and accelerated same-day surgery pathways.

In 2023, my team shipped RealActivity Physician Activity Copilot, the world's first AI harness focused on hospital administration. And 2024, we shipped Wheelhouse, a model fine-tuned on PeopleSoft healthcare operations data and executive prompt workflows.

What happened in between? I trained 3,000+ engineers across GE, IDX, and Microsoft in enterprise software patterns. I migrated 50+ HIPAA workloads to Azure. I built the CMS compliance and activity reporting platforms that health systems still rely on. I earned Microsoft MVP recognition and was named Azure Most Influential, not for evangelism, but for implementation.

Today I'm CEO & Chief AI Officer at RealActivity, a boutique Microsoft partner delivering mission-critical AI for academic medical centers and health systems across the Northeast. Our focus? Tracking system wide clinical time (cFTE), CMS complaint AI, and improving operational efficiency, the problems that keep CMOs and CMIOs up at night. I'm also the founder of OCS Labs, an AI lab building industry-specific AI for government, and sectors where getting it wrong isn't an option.

I founded BOSHUG, the Boston Healthcare Cloud & AI Community, which has grown into a global network serving 40k. I'm a Cloud Wars healthcare AI analyst, a top 3% rated global speaker (Microsoft Ignite, Cloud Wars, and beyond).

Global citizen based in Greater Boston. When I'm not building healthcare AI, you'll find me at a Sicilian bakery arguing about lemon cake, sailing, snowboarding, diving, or planning the next adventure. 114 countries, and counting.

Duncan Boyne

Duncan Boyne

Duncan is a Power BI and Fabric consultant, based in Norfolk and running Boyne
Business Intelligence. He builds reporting that reflects how a business actually
works, rather than what looks good on a dashboard. Semantic models, report design,
governance, and a fair bit of working out where AI is genuinely useful in data work
and where it's just noise. Accessibility runs through all of it, and since he's
red-blind himself, it has never been theoretical.

The community is the part he'll talk about longest. He runs the Norfolk Power
Platform User Group and is the founder of the East of England Summit, creating
spaces for people at all levels to learn, connect, and grow. He found this community
by accident, and it's still the best accident he's made.

Outside of tech, he's a dad of two, usually being outnumbered at home by kids and a
dog. When he does get a bit of time, it's spent gaming, reading, getting lost in
manga, or listening to music that most people would describe as "a bit aggressive."

Johnny Xmas

Johnny Xmas is the Global Head of Offensive Security for a Fortune 200 manufacturing and agriculture corporation, where he leads a formal offensive security program spanning penetration testing, red teaming, adversarial simulation, and exposure assessment. With 16+ years in Information Security and 26+ years in IT operations, he has spent his career finding the gap between what security claims to do and what it actually detects.

A recognized figure in the Chicago information security community since 2002, Johnny is a board member of BurbSec and co-organizer of BSides312. His past roles include Director of Cyber Training at GRIMM (security research), infrastructure defense at Kasada, Lead Researcher on Uptake's Industrial Cybersecurity Platform, and years as a penetration tester and security engineer for Fortune 500 organizations. He's also earned recognition for exposing critical vulnerabilities in mainstream consumer infrastructure—most notably the TSA Master Key leaks and Venmo stalking vectors.

Today, he applies that same skepticism to enterprise security programs, asking the questions most organizations desperately avoid.

Quentin Reul

Quentin Reul

Quentin Reul, Ph.D., is an AI Strategy and Innovation Executive with over 25 years of experience navigating the evolution of artificial intelligence from early symbolic systems to today’s neural era. He focuses on bridging the gap between high-level business goals and technical implementation. Originally from Belgium, he earned his doctorate at the University of Aberdeen, where his research focused on ontologies and semantic interoperability. Dr. Reul is an advocate for a "problem-first" approach to innovation, encouraging organizations to "fall in love with the problem, not the solution. By utilizing the Jobs to be Done (JTBD) framework, he helps businesses anchor technology in measurable customer pain points, ensuring that AI acts as a practical accelerator rather than a temporary trend.

With extensive experience in neuro-symbolic AI, Dr. Reul champions hybrid architectures that integrate the creative capabilities of Large Language Models with the deterministic precision of Knowledge Graphs to help mitigate hallucinations and ground AI systems in verifiable reality. He is an active contributor to Responsible AI initiatives, serving on the IEEE working group on AI ethics oversight to help define global standards for transparency and fairness. His strategic "Cost to be Wrong" framework provides a pragmatic lens for assessing AI risk in zero-tolerance industries like healthcare and law, emphasizing the necessity of "expert-in-the-loop" supervision. Through his Lean AI Innovation methodology, he assists enterprises in leveraging their proprietary data for sustainable advantage while navigating the transition from pilot projects to production-grade systems.
