Mayor of Vilnius City
For centuries, Vilnius has been a welcoming place for the peaceful coexistence of free citizens, while perfectly combining its magnificent history, spectacular natural environment and vibrant creativity.
I am totally committed to continue building the City full of the spirit of freedom and creativity so that it would become a source of inspiration and goodness for the people of Vilnius, of Lithuania and of the entire Europe.
Can there be anything more interesting than creating for your City and in the City? Creation, however, requires certain conditions. My team and myself have been working hard for three years to rid Vilnius of its outstanding debts as well as of any other problems having long plagued our capital.
Today, the residents of Vilnius enjoy the renovated urban infrastructure, honest and professional municipal services, and I hope they appreciate the emerging new creative initiatives. Today, Vilnius has all the reasonable grounds to head towards an even more inspiring future.
I personally have been and will be doing everything I can to make this city the best place to live, create and feel free.
I hope that the last years of my activities are a good testimony to that – we can make a change in the city through bold individual commitments. The determination of each citizen to become a creator of the City will undoubtedly result in the exceptional overall benefit of Vilnius.

Keynote What about education in 2020?
Bio:
I’m an optimist researcher of the intelligence world wether in artificial systems, ecological environments or education. I’m actually leading an experimental academic innovation center in Paris, la Defense – De Vinci Innovation Center. I’m also affiliated research at the MIT Medialab and part of several program comittees for the ecological tracks in major international conferences of artificial intelligence such as NeurIPS, ICLR and IJCNN.
In 2012, I received two M.Sc. degrees from the University of Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI (nowadays Sorbonne University) in Artificial Intelligence and Decisions and a second one from ECE Paris Engineering School in Embedded Systems.
In 2016, I got a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in Le Havre University applied on Organic Ambient Intelligence. During this work, I develop a theorical and practical framework for the deployment of distributed artificial neural networks on energy constraint wireless actuator and sensor networks. This Environement Monitoring and Management Agents (EMMA) framework offers a new choregraphy paradigm for a fully distributed Internet of Things without Cloud.
In 2017, I did my postdoc in the Responsive Environment Group at the Medialab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I joined the team of the Tidmarsh project which develop technologies in order to study the ecological, bio-dynamic and climate evolutions of industrial scale cramberries farm restoration. My contribution is the developpment of a deeplearning based acoustic analyzer for detecting, identifying and geo-localizing in real-time the widlife activity on site from 25 microphones and 6 cameras.
In 2019, I found and lead the De Vinci Innovation Center in Paris, La Defense which is the expertise center of the Pole Leonard de Vinci. Based on a Fab Lab, its Master and PhD programs offer a unique opportunity of exploring new academic methods based on radical learning, anti-disciplinarity and collective learning. Its leitmotiv "Demo or Die", coming from the MIT MediaLab, is supported by a permanent mix of sciences, technics and humanity in order to address the big challenges of our societies.

After getting acquainted with graphic design, and having experienced the adventures of large and small creative works, today Ieva dives even deeper into the design. Together with the IT company Baltic Amadeus, she creates incredible things, goes deep into the science of user experience, user-centered design, web design, and usability testing.
Overseeing, guiding and coaching an international team of designers is not less familiar to her than working with a creative team in order to create concepts for advertising campaigns or address the challenges in real-time.
However, apart from taking care of the aesthetics of design, Ieva also ensures it meets the technical criteria. Ieva’s secret is simple – she believes that good design is not just about beauty. It also has to be functional and help brands by hitting directly at the heart rather than in the brain."

What if you knew how to uniquely motivate each employee and help them work better together as a team? Organizations move away from the command-and-control management style to creating a culture that focuses on people's strengths and development. Making this change will help employees -- and customers -- have better experiences at your company. A positive approach. But not a "soft" one.
