We have never (in all the years we have been managing events) witnessed audiences so engaged and reignited during our keynotes. And then, for them to take the time to “write-in” all these great comments...unheard of!.

Artificial INTELLIGENCE and the power of Creative thinking

David Usher is the founder and CEO of Reimagine AI and SecondEcho, AI companies creating AI applications in healthcare and digital immortality. With more than seven years of hands-on work in generative AI, he brings real experience rather than theory.

A multi-platinum, four-time Juno winning artist and bestselling author, he connects creativity and technology in a way few speakers can. His keynote argues that in the age of AI, creativity has become a true competitive advantage and a core skill for adapting to rapid change.

Drawing on Reimagine AI’s work with major partners and its pioneering projects in virtual companions for Alzheimer’s patients, he shows how creative thinking drives real-world results. Through live demos, music, and engaging storytelling, Usher gives audiences a clear, actionable view of how they can participate in the AI revolution.

Memories Forever (Q & A)

Human Memory in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Our memories fade, fracture, and disappear. AI does not. As new systems capture our voices, stories, and personal data, the line between remembering and recording is starting to blur. Are we preserving who we are, or outsourcing our minds to machines built by others?

In this live Q and A, David Usher, founder of Reimagine AI and SecondEcho, will explore how AI-driven “digital doubles” could change the way we document identity, pass down stories, and construct personal legacy. The session will look at both the promise of interactive memory systems and the risks they introduce, including consent, ownership of digital selves, emotional manipulation, and the possibility of creating memories that outlive the person who made them.

The audience will be invited to challenge the concept of an immortal memory. Can a digital double ever be authentic. Who controls a self that continues after death. Should we build these systems at all.

The session concludes with open discussion and audience questions focused on the ethics, psychology, and future impact of AI-powered memory.
