Moon Ribas is a celebrated Catalan cyborg artist who developed the Seismic Sense—an online sensor implanted in her feet that allows her to feel earthquakes and moonquakes in real time through vibrations. As a co-founder of the Cyborg Foundation and the Transpecies Society, she advocates for cyborg rights and the freedom of self-design. Her artistic work and keynotes explore the union between humans and technology, using the internet as a sense and promoting the concept of senstronauts—those who extend their senses into space.

Calum Chace is a best-selling AI author and futurist whose books Surviving AI and The Economic Singularity have shaped how leaders think about automation, work, and society. A former business executive and journalist with an Oxford PPE background, he translates complex ideas—AGI, LLMs, and accelerating tech—into clear, practical narratives. His core message is balanced and actionable: AI can drive abundance, but only if organizations prepare thoughtfully with strategy, skills, and sensible governance. He co-founded the Economic Singularity Foundation, contributes to Stories from 2045, and advises boards on responsible AI adoption. On stage—at events like CogX and private leadership offsites—Calum mixes big-picture foresight with near-term playbooks: where AI creates value now, how to adapt jobs and education, and which policies reduce risk without stifling innovation. Audiences leave with context, vocabulary, and concrete next steps to build an AI-ready future.

Jeremy White is Senior Innovation Editor at WIRED, where he tracks the technologies and companies building the near future and turns them into usable insight for leaders. His beat spans AI and automation to mobility, cybersecurity, and consumer hardware, with a focus on what’s real, what’s hype, and where value appears first. Earlier stints at the Financial Times and Esquire (UK) shaped his eye for design and product—how innovations cross from lab to everyday life. As a keynote speaker and moderator, White briefs boards and product teams on timelines, adoption hurdles, and the operational impacts of emerging tech. He is known for translating complex systems into clear choices—what to pilot, how to govern, and how to talk about change with customers and regulators. Whether road-testing exoskeletons or interrogating quantum and web3 claims, he keeps promise and trade-offs in view, offering a realistic map of the next decade that decision-makers can act on.
