Michael Renna is an enterprise technology and Lean-Agile transformation leader with years of experience leading technology delivery in Fortune 500 environments. He helps executives and delivery organizations connect strategy, product, architecture, governance, and team execution so work moves from intent to measurable business outcomes.

His work sits at the intersection of Lean-Agile transformation, technology leadership, and practical AI adoption. Michael focuses on the operating systems behind successful change: value streams, portfolio flow, decision rights, delivery governance, metrics, and the leadership behaviors needed to improve performance at scale.

As a speaker, Michael brings a practical, executive-ready perspective shaped by real-world delivery constraints — not theory, hype, or ceremony for its own sake. His sessions help leaders see where transformation efforts stall, how to improve flow across complex organizations, and how to use AI as part of a disciplined operating model rather than another disconnected initiative.

Lead Backend Developer and Architect at onepoint, I code daily in Symfony, Drupal and API Platform.

My background is a bit unusual: ten years in project management, then a technical pivot seven years ago to dive back into code — and never come up for air.

Convinced that coffee is the only language compatible with every framework and that the coffee break remains the best pair programming session, I practice aikido and am always on the lookout for the next series to binge-watch or movie to catch.

Nasr is co-founder and CTO of Steel (steel.dev), where he builds the browser infrastructure that AI agents use to operate the web: thousands of isolated Chromium instances running as low-latency compute primitives. Before Steel, he was a staff engineer at Lazer Technologies working across fintech and web3 systems, and a data engineer at Meta. Earlier, he co-founded a startup that shipped facial-recognition access control on consumer hardware. He studied Computer Science at the University of Waterloo and is based in Toronto. He has strong opinions about cold starts, p99s, and why "just run Chrome in Docker" stops working sooner than you'd think.

Kristin Ottlinger holds a degree in Cultural Studies and Political Science. She is the co-founder and CEO of Fuchs Devils Wild and a winner of the 2021 New Work Award.

For around 15 years, she has advised renowned national and international clients across a wide range of industries, from start-ups to DAX-listed corporations, on New Work, digitalisation and transformation.

Her foundation: Clarity. Resolve. Execution.
Her focus: the future of work in the age of AI.

Kristin Ottlinger takes a holistic approach to supporting organisations through transformation. Her work spans team development, the design of new structures and processes, and focused strategic counsel for executives and leadership teams.

A particular focus of her work is how leadership, organisations and AI need to work together in the future. She supports companies in the strategic adoption of AI, ensuring that technology and people do not simply coexist but, at their best, become a “perfect match”. Because new technology alone does not transform an organisation. And even the best concept has little value if it fails to deliver impact in day-to-day business.

Her work is therefore defined by a clear view of what lies ahead. Her conviction: change is not always comfortable. But it can be shaped. Provided organisations are prepared not only to talk about the future, but to turn it into action with consistency.

Alongside her consulting work, Kristin Ottlinger shares her extensive experience as a lecturer in New Work, leadership, communication and digital transformation at universities and educational institutions.

She is also a regular interview guest and speaker at events across Germany.

He simplifies complex concepts, making AI accessible to professionals across various industries, from human resources to customer service.

Today, Oliver stands as a testament to the impact of Generative AI across sectors. His work demonstrates how AI can drive efficiency, enhance customer satisfaction, and foster innovation, all while maintaining a deep understanding of the industries he’s worked in. Oliver’s journey is one of continuous learning, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in a rapidly changing world.
