Keynote Speakers

Monday Keynote - Prof. Chaoyang Zhang, Ph.D.

University of Southern Mississippi
School of Computing Sciences and Computer Engineering
Professor, Graduate Program Coordinator, Former School Director

Title: "From Data to Discovery: AI-Driven Research in Health Informatics"
Abstract: Health informatics lies at the intersection of data, computation, and discovery. With the rapid growth of biomedical big data, traditional analytic approaches are no longer sufficient. This keynote will explore how advances in data engineering, machine learning and artificial intelligence are transforming health informatics into a data-driven science of discovery.

Tuesday Keynote - Mr. Nat Prakongpan

Vice President at Cyberbit

Title: "Beyond the Buzz: Delivering Real Outcomes in the Age of AI Skepticism"
Abstract: As "AI-powered" becomes the most overused phrase in tech marketing, buyers are responding with growing skepticism. The age of novelty is over—executives and practitioners alike are demanding tangible results. In this keynote, we'll explore the shift from hype to outcomes, and what it means for builders and vendors.
