The Future of Tech Beyond AI Hype
AI isn’t just changing products - it’s redefining how we live, create, and connect. But with all the buzz, what’s real and what’s just noise?
At this event, you’ll get:
- Provocative insights from people building the next wave of AI innovation
- Raw debates about hype vs. reality
- Bold visions for how AI will reshape our future
Speakers Lineup
🌟 Alena Zhylich Brown – Serial Entrepreneur, Investor & Founder/CEO of Positify.us, Author of “Outsourcing: Save, Scale, and Build Your Business Empire”.
Topic: AI: Hype vs. Reality – What’s Working Today and What’s Just Marketing.
Alena will cut through the noise around AI to separate media buzz from real-world impact. From robot-waiters and fighting robots to proven implementations in logistics, fintech, and healthcare, she’ll showcase where AI is truly delivering results, and where it’s just hype. Drawing on her case studies, such as Eccentex AI-driven customer experience solutions for enterprise call centers and AI in accounting, Alena will reveal where AI makes the most sense.
🌟 Aly Owens – Ex-Microsoft Product Manager, Founder of Upskill PM School (AI-Agent Verticals). upskillpm.org
Topic: How the Product Manager Role Has Changed in the Era of AI
Aly Owens brings an insider perspective from her time leading Microsoft’s AI-agent verticals. She’ll pull back the curtain on how enterprise teams are actually deploying AI automation today, beyond the headlines and hype. Aly will also share how the role of a Product Manager has rapidly evolved in just the last 14 months, from traditional product roadmapping to orchestrating AI-driven solutions that scale.
🌟 Illya Bakurov – Co-Founder & CTO, Stella Foster

Topic: AI and the Future of Human Independence.
Illya will take us into a future where keyboards and screens give way to voice-first, ambient systems, and robotics.
It’ll spotlight the group that has the most to gain: seniors. He’ll show how AI can give seniors more independence, safety, dignity, and allow for a lifestyle that makes them enjoy life to the fullest.
