A national reference in the practical application of AI and 5G/6G networks to the media and entertainment ecosystem, Fernando Gomes de Oliveira brings 35 years of frontline technology experience to SET Expo 2025, where he will be one of the leading voices shaping the future of content creation and distribution.
A Computer Engineer from Poli-USP, Fernando led Brazil’s analog TV signal switch-off through Seja Digital, a landmark project that connected over 90 million Brazilians to the digital world. Prior to that, he held key roles at Irdeto, Skysystem, and Intellicast, deploying content security solutions for major networks across Latin America.
Currently serving as CIO of Intellinet Conectividade Inteligente and VP of Technological Ecosystems at the Smart City Business America Institute, Fernando integrates generative AI, 5G/6G, and cybersecurity to transform audiovisual production chains, OTT platforms, and TV 3.0. He also collaborates with zero1educa, an initiative that trains creators in AI-powered video production, and chairs the Applied AI for Business Committee at I2AI. As a board member of AI Brasil, he advocates for ethical and scalable innovation.
A speaker and moderator at events such as Futurecom, Quantum Week, and Summit Cidades, Fernando bridges traditional broadcast engineering with the new frontiers of intelligent storytelling. In his talks, he demonstrates how generative AI, cloud computing, and 5G Broadcast — one of SET Expo’s central themes — can unlock new revenue streams, personalize user experiences, and enhance content security. His mission: to turn technology into real value for the industry and meaningful experiences for audiences.
