Who is speaking
All 64 speakers on the event’s published list as of the 2026-09-13 snapshot, with the organisation each is listed under. Type to filter. Machine surface: people.json.
Beta, agent-produced, human-reviewed. The research, extraction and drafting are done by software agents. Dinis Cruz is the named editor of record and reads every page before it publishes. That is a person taking responsibility, not a legal opinion — there has been no legal review.
Every claim here walks back to bytes we hold. Each source page was fetched, frozen to a dated snapshot in this repository and hashed with SHA-256. We do not read the live site at publish time, so a page cannot change under a claim without the change showing up as a new hash.
We report what others have published. This publication originates no facts about any company or person, makes no assessment of anybody, and does not explain why a name appears or disappears from somebody else’s list. The full limits →
If you are named on this site — what is held about you, why, and how to have it removed without giving a reason: your data →
Names, roles, organisations and links only. Each speaker’s biography is their own or the organiser’s writing, and it is linked rather than reproduced — this publication adds structure over other people’s material, it does not republish it. Follow the profile link for the full entry.

What this list does not tell you
- 3 of 64 have no LinkedIn link on their card. That is a property of the published list, not a judgement about anybody.
- No card carries a country. The event states speakers and attendees from 40+ countries; this publication cannot verify or dispute that from the source, and records it as unverifiable rather than doubted.
- No card maps to a session. The agenda names sessions and the speakers page names people, and the two are not joined on the source. Until they are, this publication cannot tell you who is on which stage.
- The list moves. It gained 5 names and lost 1 between the two snapshots. What changed →
For an agent
64 speakers, machine-readable at /portugal/data/people.json, extracted from a frozen and hashed copy of the event's speakers page rather than from the live site. Each node carries the speaker's own page on the event site as its source. Biographies are deliberately not included — they are the speakers' and organisers' writing. No node carries a country, and no node maps to a session, because the source joins neither. This list changes: check changes.json before treating it as current.
