Digital Humans for Business: Where Avatars Actually Work (and Where They Don’t)

Doors open at 11:30 and presentations start promptly at Noon.

Are you curious about how AI can transform your business and career? Join us at the VIATEC AI Meetup.

Everyone is welcome.

Join us for this fun and engaging session lead by John Zubak of Zubak & Associates.

Avatars (“digital humans”) are moving quickly from novelty to practical business tools, but only when applied in the right places and with the right guardrails. In this business focused session, John Zubak will show where avatars create real value for organizations looking to scale communication and digital presence without turning every message into a full video production project. You’ll leave with a clear framework for when to use avatars, how to produce high-quality output efficiently, and how to implement responsibly to protect trust and brand reputation. One-hour session followed by Q&A.

Key learning outcomes
Attendees will leave with:

  • A practical decision framework for where avatars create real business value (and where they don’t)
  • The highest-impact use cases: sales outreach, onboarding, customer updates, internal comms, and training
  • A simple, repeatable workflow: message → script → video (without the “production studio” overhead)
  • A realism-and-trust checklist: what actually drives quality and credibility (and what’s just “shiny”)
  • Implementation guardrails: disclosure, consent, and brand-trust basics teams should have before scaling


Feel free to grab a bite at the Fort Cafe, located on site.
