CTRL+SHIFT VOL. 14 @ Ambition

CTRL+SHIFT is back for Vol. XIV, this time at Ambition's new space! Think of this one as a director's cut. We're not talking about polished final versions, but the one with the process left in Short talks covering the full spectrum, from deeply technical to highly creative and practical, including voice models and realtime AI, virtual production, generative pipelines, and creative software. No sales pitches. Leave with something you learned. That's the mandate for the night, and it fits what Ambition is building. Speakers Amr Kayid, Cofounder of EESI. Amr works on realtime conversational AI, with a background in AI research. He is based in Toronto and studied at the Technical University of Munich. Thiago Carneiro, Unreal Tech Artist at Girraphic. Thiago is an Emmy-nominated Unreal Engine animator and a Gold Level Unreal Authorized Instructor. He is also a member of the Visual Effects Society and teaches Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) and Niagara VFX. His full LinkedIn name is Thiago (Correia) Carneiro. Amy & Anson, Cofounders of Hotpot Studios. The duo works in hybrid filmmaking that combines AI with visual effects. Doors at 7:00, talks around 7:30. Drinks, demos, and networking after.
