Creative Director, Digital Media strategist,
Alchemist

Jon Angelo Gjetting has spent more than twenty years working across design, advertising and brand identity in over ten countries. He is best known for shaping the immersive experience universe of Alchemist - the Copenhagen restaurant that has redefined what a meal can be and repeatedly captured global attention in doing so. His work sits at the intersection of storytelling, technology and sensory design, building concepts that outlast the moment they happen in. At PULSE, he brings that perspective to the future of gastronomy & what happens when food becomes the medium, not just the subject.

Leadership Speaker, Facilitator and Adventure-Based Performance Coach

Josh Stinton is an international keynote speaker, facilitator, and leadership coach who helps organisations build cultures of ownership, resilience, and action. Drawing on experience with global companies including Google, EY, Novartis, and PwC, he combines practical leadership strategies with extraordinary adventure stories—including multiple world records and his work on the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Ceremonies—to inspire teams to perform with confidence in high-pressure environments.

Artist & Designer

Artūrs Analts received the London Design Biennale's highest honour Best Design in 2018 for his installation Matter to Matter, and has been building on that foundation ever since. His practice sits at the intersection of art, design and spatial experience, translating complex ideas into visual and physical work that connects people to place, memory and emotion. He is not interested in design as decoration. He is interested in design as argument. At PULSE, he will bring that perspective to the conversation about brands and the built environment - what it means to design spaces and objects that actually communicate something worth saying.

CEO & Co-Owner,
Plombir Event Company

Natali Shestakova produces events and cultural projects under conditions that would stop most people from trying. As CEO of Plombir Event Company and one of the key initiators behind Ukraine. Residence of Freedom (an international charity project and art residency), she has built experiences that carry genuine weight at a time when the stakes of public gathering have rarely been higher. Her work sits at the intersection of events, culture and social responsibility. At PULSE, she will speak to the future of events in an unpredictable world & what it takes to keep creating when certainty is not available.

Designer, Scenographer & Artist,
Don’t Panic

Mārcis Ziemiņš founded Don't Panic with a specific ambition: to build spaces that move people inside them. As a scenographer and installation artist, his practice centres on large-scale environmental work - projects that use spatial thinking, storytelling and material experimentation to challenge how people perceive and move through the world. His interest is in the experience before the explanation - what a space makes you feel before you understand why. At PULSE, he will contribute to the conversation on the future of brands - specifically, what happens when the physical environment becomes the message.

Stylist, Designer & Founder,
SVINAM, Nītaures Dzirnavas

Baiba Prindule-Rence has built one of Latvia's most distinctive creative practices in the space where atmosphere, aesthetics and live experience meet. As founder of SVINAM and owner of Nītaures Dzirnavas, she has shaped large-scale private and corporate events with a visual language that is immediately recognisable and consistently hard to replicate. Her work is not about styling in the conventional sense, it is about the total environment, and what that environment communicates before a single word is spoken. At PULSE, she brings that sensibility to the future of brands - and the argument that aesthetic coherence is a strategic choice, not a finishing touch.

Creative Director, Entrepreneur & AI Innovation Expert,
Helve, Shift, The Crowd

Kristaps Cīrulis works at the point where technology stops being abstract and starts being useful. As Creative Director at Helve and co-founder of startups Shift and The Crowd, he has spent years helping organisations move from curiosity about AI to actual integration - building tools and workflows that change how teams operate day to day. His interest is not in what AI can theoretically do, but in what it already does and what that means for the people working alongside it. At PULSE, he will address the future of AI - and not only in theory, but with very practical, live examples.

Executive Director of the Latvian Music Export Association

As Executive Director of the Latvian Music Export Association, she works to strengthen the international presence of Latvia's music industry by supporting artists, fostering international partnerships, and promoting the export of Latvian music.

Architect and Interior Designer

Anda Ozoliņa is an architect and interior designer whose work centres on creating spaces that evoke emotion through simplicity, natural materials, and thoughtful design.
