George Hewitt
George Hewitt is a seasoned technologist with 20+ years in IT leading teams, building infrastructure, forcing change and designing systems around humans. Having worked across healthcare, mining, government, and enterprise environments, he’s no stranger to complex people and systems—or how to find clever ways to subvert them.
His recent work explores the intersection of AI, social engineering, and procedural trust. Equal parts practitioner and provocateur, George brings a mix of insight, irreverence, and just enough chaos to make audiences think twice about the systems they rely on.
He’s here to challenge assumptions, have a bit of fun—and maybe prove a point about how easily the gatekeepers can be fooled.

AI is no longer a novelty—it’s a powerful tool in the modern hacker’s arsenal. From automating recon and crafting phishing lures to building scripts, writing exploit code, or even reverse-engineering binaries, generative AI is lowering the barrier of entry for all kinds of creative (and questionable) activity.
