Pablo Segarra

Pablo Segarra

Pablo Segarra is the founder of Segarra IP PLLC, a federal trademark practice built for scaling brands and founders with real equity at stake. A trademark attorney, keynote speaker, and cultural connector, Pablo works at the intersection of law, identity, and ownership — helping creators, entrepreneurs, and established businesses protect what defines them.
He has advised more than 2,000 founders, creators, and high-growth teams on trademark strategy, brand protection, and IP decisions that determine long-term value. His approach treats trademark registration not as a transaction but as a strategic foundation — and his client work spans apparel, food and beverage, creative agencies, cultural organizations, and the creator economy.
A respected bilingual speaker with 60+ engagements across three continents, Pablo speaks on intellectual property as an economic framework, cultural ownership, AI's impact on creator rights, and the structural gap between what communities build and what they own.
His background as a retired NYPD officer informs his discipline, directness, and commitment to clients who have never felt fully represented.

Tiara Jamison

Tiara Jamison

Tiara Jamison is the Founder and CEO of AnnieGuard, a causal intelligence company focused on understanding the hidden systems that drive biological threats, disease, environmental risk, and complex human outcomes.

Her work centers on a simple but powerful idea: events do not happen randomly. Whether the outcome is a disease diagnosis, a public health crisis, an environmental disaster, or a system failure, there are underlying causes that can be reconstructed from the data that already exists.

Drawing on experience across Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, Tiara combines systems thinking, threat detection principles, artificial intelligence, and biological research to help organizations move beyond prediction and toward understanding why events happen.

After losing her mother, Annie, to sarcoma, Tiara founded AnnieGuard to challenge conventional approaches to disease detection and risk assessment. Today, her work explores how causal intelligence can be applied across healthcare, biological security, environmental systems, public safety, and critical infrastructure.

Tiara speaks on causal intelligence, biological and environmental threats, systems failure, healthcare innovation, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, resilience, and the future of decision-making in complex environments.
