SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Daniel Whiteson How do you close a programme dedicated to the future? By zooming out and looking at the biggest frontier of all: the universe itself. 🌍 We're delighted to welcome Daniel Whiteson as the closing speaker for Innotribe 2026. A particle physicist, professor at the University of California, Irvine, bestselling author and acclaimed science communicator, Daniel has built a reputation for making the most complex questions in science accessible, entertaining and impossible to stop thinking about. Taking to the Innotribe stage on the last day, Daniel will guide audiences on a mind-bending journey through some of the cosmos' most fascinating questions: Why does time only move forwards? What really happens inside a black hole? And if intelligent life exists beyond Earth, would aliens understand the same physics that we do, or see reality in a completely different way? Daniel will also be signing copies of his book Do Aliens Speak Physics? after his talk. 👽 Bookmark this session in the app today

🔦 SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: What does it take to turn a prediction of failure into a movement that empowers thousands of others to succeed? At this year's Innotribe, we're excited to welcome Felecia Hatcher as our opening speaker – an entrepreneur, investor, author and innovation leader who has built a career challenging conventional thinking and creating opportunities where others see barriers. Felecia has helped support more than 131 entrepreneurs who have collectively gone on to raise over $100 million. Her work is transforming how underrepresented founders access capital, mentorship and the networks needed to thrive in today's innovation economy. After being told as a teenager that her academic performance would limit her future, she went on to build an accomplished career spanning global brands including Nintendo, Sony and Disney, launch multiple ventures of her own, co-found Black Tech Week and The Center for Black Innovation, and become one of the most influential voices championing inclusive entrepreneurship. Her message is simple but powerful: innovation happens when we create the conditions for more people to contribute their genius. 📍 Don't miss Felecia's opening Innotribe session as she takes to the stage for a conversation about disruption, opportunity and empowering the next generation of innovators.

Delighted that both Zack Kass and Daniel Whiteson will be taking part in exclusive book signings this year. 📕 Zack Kass, former Head of Go-to-Market at OpenAI and now an advisor to Fortune 1,000 boardrooms including Coca-Cola, Morgan Stanley and Samsung, will be signing The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential. The book makes an optimistic case for AI as a collaborative partner in human creativity and progress, arguing that this new renaissance will reshape how we create, work and, most importantly, flourish. 📗 Daniel Whiteson, particle physicist at UC Irvine will sign copies of Do Aliens Speak Physics? And Other Questions about Science and the Nature of Reality following his session on the Innotribe stage. Written with Andy Warner, the book asks whether physics and maths are a truly universal language, one that could connect us with alien minds, or whether even our most objective science is shaped by human perspective. Join them after their talks on the Innotribe stage to get your signed free copy. Full programme available here: https://lnkd.in/eMvDMpBs and in the Sibos app.
