How candidate speakers are moving the BA frontier
4 January 2026 / 1 min read
Curious about the proposals for our next conference? Wondering how candidate speakers envision the future of the Business Analysis profession? Want to see whether your idea stands out and truly goes "beyond", moving the BA frontier? Or would you like practical, concrete suggestions to strengthen your speaking proposal?
Check out these Notebook LM AI-generated audio overviews and infographic and join the discussion on how our candidate speakers are moving the BA frontier.
The proposals collectively emphasize navigating the intersection of advanced technology and human dynamics, offering insights on leveraging AI agents and LLMs for quality validation while simultaneously deepening essential "human" skills such as empathy, stress management, and strategic influence to lead transformation in complex, regulated, or agile environments.
The concept of "beyond" is defined as transcending the traditional role of requirements gathering to embrace strategic leadership and psychological depth, moving past theoretical frameworks to address the "messy" reality of human behavior, failure, and organizational politics, while actively shaping the ethical and practical integration of AI rather than just reacting to it.
Speakers intend to shift from passive listening to active application through immersive methods such as "chaos" data gathering, real-time AI simulations, and role-playing workshops, ensuring attendees leave with tangible artifacts — including career roadmaps, decision frameworks, and immediate technical toolkits — that can be deployed the very next day.
