T.01

Small Tech: the new wave of community transformation.

For the first time in history, it is viable to build technology that is local, specific, and intentional about who it serves. Small Tech is to Big Tech what Slow Food was to fast food: not a rejection of progress, but an insistence that progress should serve plurality rather than flatten it.

T.02

Tech is always a political choice.

Every tool you build, buy, or default to is a decision about who matters — who gets included, who bears the cost, whose perspective sits at the centre. AI turned millions more people into builders, which means millions more are now making those calls, most without realising it. A talk on choosing deliberately.

Keynote / Workshop 30 — 60 min
T.03

Marketing and branding for solo founders.

You are the product, the sales team, and the brand. A working talk on how to do all three without losing the thread — the lightweight systems, the delegation choices, and the compounding moves that actually move the needle when it is just you.

Keynote / Panel 30 min
T.04

Community-led growth for protocols.

Building genuine developer and ecosystem communities that drive adoption. Ambassador programs, event strategy, and measuring what actually matters.

Panel / Workshop 30 — 45 min
