Adele Wang

AI Consultant & Leadership Strategist 

Pressure. Complexity. Uncertainty. For modern leaders, the stakes are high and the answers aren’t always clear. In this breakthrough session, Adele Wang introduces the Decision Decoder — a practical tool to help leaders think clearly, act decisively, and reduce stress when the path forward feels foggy. You’ll discover how to use AI to regain focus, separate signal from noise, and make confident decisions that drive momentum. It’s not about more data — it’s about better clarity.

Adriana Vela

Founder & CEO, MarketTecNexus, AI Advisor, Author, Human Performance Expert

AI isn’t just a tech upgrade. It’s a full-spectrum leadership stress test. Adriana Vela reveals the 10 hidden barriers holding mid-sized companies back — from cultural resistance and decision fatigue to skill gaps and leadership paralysis. Through a powerful blend of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and real-world strategy, you’ll learn how to rewire your mindset and lead AI adoption with clarity, confidence, and measurable success.

Dr. Albert Viljoen

Founder, Business Consultant, Leadership Coach 

AI may be powerful — but it can’t replace the human edge. In this session, Dr. Albert Viljoen reveals the timeless leadership qualities that still outpace algorithms: clarity, connection, and vision. You’ll explore a proven framework for shaping transformation, not just surviving it. Walk away with the insight to lead in ways no machine ever could — and build a culture that people and AI want to follow.

Birgit Gosejacob

Leadership & AI Strategist 

Most leaders are drowning in tools but starving for clarity. In this powerful session, Birgit challenges the default AI narrative and shows how the real advantage lies in reclaiming your time, focus, and trust. Learn how to lead with more purpose, not just productivity, and use AI to deepen what makes you human instead of replacing it.

Leanne Terrace

Executive Coach & AI Strategist

In a time of rapid change, AI isn’t just about speed — it’s about smarter leadership. Leanne shares how to use AI to uncover misalignment, strengthen team culture, and make more focused decisions. If you're leading through growth or transformation, this session offers real-world insights to elevate both your strategy and your people.

Lisa Hale

Founder & CEO Focused LeadershipConsulting

If AI isn’t saving you time or growing your business, you’re not using it right. In this energizing session, Dr. Lisa Hale shows founders and executives how to ditch duct-taped tools and build AI-powered systems that actually work. Discover how to boost sales, reclaim your time, and lead with impact—without losing your voice or your edge.

Mathieu Gervais

Founder & CEO

AI is evolving fast, and most businesses are reacting without direction. In this session, Mathieu shares a powerful framework to cut through the noise, unify your team, and turn your unique vision into an AI-ready strategy. Walk away with a clear path to innovation, alignment, and long-term growth in the AI era.

Samantha Hanreck

Fractional CIO | AI Adoption | Founder | Co-Founder
