Event detailsEvery organization faces the same question: how do we build systems that work for everyone? Calvin explores the real challenges beneath the surface and the human solutions that make a difference.
Four focused sessions drawn from Calvin's front-line work in digital identity, inclusive technology, and leading teams through AI-era disruption. Each is visual, demo-heavy where it applies, and tailored to the real constraints organizers face.
Next up: The AI Launchpad at Southeastern — August 4, 2026 · Hammond, LA
Every major technological shift has been sold as the end of human labor — and every time, the work continued. It changed shape. Calvin traces a line from the agricultural age through the industrial revolution to today's AI moment, asking what actually gets replaced when machines grow smarter, and what never can. This is a talk for technology leaders who refuse to panic: a framework for keeping human judgment, human touch, and human purpose at the center of the work — and for using AI as leverage, not a rival.
Audience: Technology executives, engineering leaders, university audiences, and conference organizers exploring AI's impact on careers, teams, and the purpose of work.
Book this talkA hard look at how digital government services can disenfranchise low-income families, seniors, and rural communities — and practical, demo-driven strategies to build inclusion into every layer of identity systems.
Audience: Government agencies, civic technology teams, accessibility advocates, and public-sector IT leaders designing citizen-facing services.
Book this talkDeepfake IDs, synthetic identities, and AI-phishing have broken traditional authentication. Calvin shows how shifting to 'who you are' — through biometric binding and cryptographic proof — is the only way to stay ahead of fraudsters.
Audience: Security teams, fraud prevention leaders, identity platform architects, and enterprise executives responsible for protecting user identity.
Book this talkWhat it means to prove who you are in a digital world — the standards, the privacy tradeoffs, and the policy decisions that shape how identity works for everyone. Calvin walks through the real engineering, policy, and privacy tradeoffs of deploying the first legal digital driver's license at state scale, anchored by the NoPhoneHome privacy principles: purely optional, no copies, nothing extra.
Audience: Government agencies, policy makers, technology leaders, standards bodies, and enterprise teams evaluating digital identity infrastructure.
