Candice Grobler is the founder of Candid Collab, a systems-savvy community consultancy helping solo founders and stretched teams build community-led marketing engines that scale revenue.

After a CPTSD diagnosis and a “you’re unemployable” jab from a well-meaning manager, Candice left the cubicle grind to forge a new model: one where neuro-spicy, outside-the-norm entrepreneurs could thrive through mentorship, scrappy systems, and candid community.

Today, she’s a sought-after mentor and speaker known for transforming sticky-note chaos into streamlined workflows and turning feast-or-famine floundering into steady, soul-aligned revenue. Her live talks, workshops, and interviews blend radical candour with practical playbooks, because life’s too short to build someone else’s empire (or burn out building your own).

Candice has helped dozens of founders grow recurring revenue, reduce burnout, and build communities that market for them, without agency retainers, bro-marketing gloss, or a selling out.

A reference in the world of design and product, creator of La Conf Qui Tue Le Game, and a key contributor to the rise of user- and product-centered culture at France Télévisions for over 10 years, Michael Baeyens (“Mitch”) is currently National Director of Product and Design Practices at eXalt, leading a community of more than 200 product and design professionals (since June 2024).

Following the success of Human After All — closing keynote at UX Conf 2023 (800+ attendees) and subsequently performed 8 times across France for a total audience of over 3,500 — Mitch established himself as a distinctive voice on the ethical, cultural and strategic impacts of AI, drawing a parallel between the career of Daft Punk and our relationship with automation, robotics and generative systems.

Since then, he has created and delivered two major conferences:

UI0 – Interface Zero: The Rise of Invisible Products in the Age of AI,
an exploration of how AI agents are reshaping product design by shifting from user-facing interfaces to products designed for agent-consumers. The talk examines the deep impact of this paradigm shift on design and product roles, methods and responsibilities. UI0 has been presented more than 16 times across France and internationally (including LPC Paris and PMF Zurich), reaching over 8,000 attendees and generating more than 8,000 video views.

FAMOUS – Lessons Learned on Brand, Values and Resilience from the Most Iconic (and Maybe the Most Underrated) Product of Our Times (FLUPA 2025),
a cultural and strategic analysis of Taylor Swift’s career as a product ecosystem, extracting concrete lessons on brand consistency, long-term vision, value systems and resilience that modern product teams can apply to their own work.

Recognized for mastering the art of storytelling, Mitch brings audiences along through a distinctive mix of sharp insight, humor, personal anecdotes and pop culture references. Sitting at the intersection of strategic planning, design leadership and product expertise, he delivers talks that are both intellectually rigorous and highly engaging — making him an unmissable speaker on the future of product, design and culture in the age of AI.

Software Architect and Engineering Lead with 20+ years building and scaling web and mobile platforms. I specialise in JVM-based backend systems, mobile development (Android, Flutter), and the architecture that connects them.

Most recently, I led the architectural transition of a global online dating platform from legacy monoliths to .NET microservices with React frontends, while continuing to operate the existing JVM-based API platform serving over 1 billion interactions per month. I also introduced an AI-assisted software engineering program, integrating tools like Cursor and AI agents into team workflows. I lead distributed engineering teams, own DevOps pipelines, and bridge the gap between product strategy and technical execution.

My work spans hands-on development, system design, and team leadership, often all three simultaneously. I'm equally comfortable debugging a race condition in production, designing a multi-region deployment strategy, or mentoring engineers through a complex refactor.

I run my consulting practice through Ventego Creative, which has allowed me to work with organisations ranging from startups to enterprises including Vodafone, Citibank, Siemens, Cupid Media, Raygun, and DistroKid. I also maintain several open-source SDKs (Android, Flutter, Ruby, Python, Node) for Raygun's error tracking platform.

Beyond client work, I'm an active conference speaker (Droidcon, Android Makers, CFCamp, and others), a technology writer for European IT publications, and have been co-organising community meetup groups since the start of my career. I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and am currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science.

Short Bio:
James has supported several ecosystems within Blockchain, DeFi & Web3 and is currently the Business Growth Manager at Hype. Hype is a crypto superagency specialising in 'go-to-market' for launching products, services & tokens.

James is a Brand Ambassador for one of the leading NFC companies within the crypto space - Card3.ai, as well as a Core Contributor and advisor for Steelo.io, a new SocialFi platform and dApp that is changing the way that the music industry engages with creators.

Long Bio:
James is a Web3 agency Founder and Marketer within c-suite. Having represented household brands as an Account Manager for over 14 years within Web2, he pivoted into the world of Web3 in 2019, as a CMO with the GratefulDAO.

He was integral in launching the GratefulDAO’s first NFT project - the Grateful Giraffes, raising $2.2 million through pre-sales and their public mint. He built the marketing team from the ground up and set out the Marketing strategy through their Social Media campaigns and Content Calendars.

Following his time with the GratefulDAO, he embarked on a Community Lead role with the 3rd biggest Crypto Media publication globally - BeInCrytpo. It was his responsibility to align and bolster their local communities around the world, operating in a total of 14 countries.

Financial freedom, inclusivity & self-sovereignty have been a passion for James from the beginning (buying his first Bitcoins in 2009), therefore naturally he has always been drawn towards DeFi.

In 2023 he joined the UK’s first FCA-regulated L1 blockchain - ReDeFi, alongside the BABB (Bank Account Based Blockchain) team as a Senior Marketing Manager. He helped grow their marketing team, establish their brand authority, optimise their content strategy and bolster their community as they launched their second token $RED. ReDeFi operated on a substrate layer 1 for privacy with a Layer 2 EVM-compatible para-chain with it's own ERC20 token $BAX. BABB is a NEO bank and launching the L1 with the team, allowed them to set the foundations for their own ecosystem and not just operate within the ethereum ecosystem.

Fast forward to today, he is the Business Growth Manager at Hype, a crypto super agency supporting web3 companies as they take their products, services and tokens to market.
