What makes a great AI speaker?
A good AI speaker doesn't scare you and doesn't promise miracles, but explains what will be possible tomorrow, what should never happen, and what your organisation can do with it today.
Real authority
Research, practice or futures studies — no hype.
Translation into decisions
What does this mean for the board and the team, this quarter?
Balancing opportunity and responsibility
What's possible, what's allowed, what's right.

Frequently asked questions
Vincent Roders, Robbert van Empel, Kim Pot, Dr. Irina Mirkina and Bianca Best — from visual future scenarios to hands-on training, and from AI adoption to human connection in the age of AI. We match on audience and goal.
That depends on profile, duration and travel time. You'll hear from us within 2 hours with an estimate tailored to the format: keynote, training or a multi-day programme.
Open the day with a keynote (Vincent Roders or Robbert van Empel) and go deeper afterwards with a workshop (Kim Pot). That's the most requested structure.
AI moves month by month. Our speakers update their material continuously, so a booking six months out is still current.
