AI is dazzling, and it will keep getting faster, more useful, more specialised…especially as hybrid quantum promises to supercharge it for most of us this decade - but only for those ready to feed it with bold, imaginative questions and turn it into a sparring partner for growth and innovation.

If you put genius in, the potential is almost limitless, because it’s the imagination, courage and vision of your people that give AI direction and meaning.

In this keynote, Angela Lamont invites engineering leaders to stop hiding their genius, and explores how shining a light on the hidden innovators in your organisation can transform not just your products, but your culture, your reputation (and your stock price) too.  

We’re stepping into Industry 5.0 - a world where AI and humans don’t compete, but collaborate.  Where machines handle the grind and provide the speed, and human genius gives the vision, the imagination, the disruption.  Stop hiding that genius - because in Industry 5.0, it’s the difference between keeping up and leading the way.

Expect to leave with a renewed sense of pride in engineering design - and a clear challenge: celebrate your people, harness AI as their amplifier, and let the world see the genius that sets you apart.
