LAS VEGAS, April 29, 2026 /CNW/ - Info-Tech Research Group has announced that Dave Coplin, founder at The Envisioners and former Chief Envisioning Officer of Microsoft UK, and Felix Schmidt, Global AI Thought Leader at GenAIus Inc., will keynote at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas.

Coplin and Schmidt reflect two sides of the AI shift organizations are now navigating. Coplin is known for helping leaders rethink how work, leadership, and organizational design evolve alongside emerging technologies, while Schmidt brings a practical lens on how generative AI can be embedded into workflows to improve efficiency and decision-making.

It is changing how work is organized, how decisions are made, and where new capabilities can have the greatest impact," says Info-Tech Research Group's Chief Research Officer, Gord Harrison. "Dave Coplin and Felix Schmidt bring distinct but complementary perspectives to that shift, from reimagining leadership and organizational design to embedding generative AI into everyday workflows. Their keynotes at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 will give leaders a clearer view of how to connect emerging capabilities to practical outcomes."
