Keynote Topics

How to Thrive in the Age of AI

We’re living in the most transformative era in history, where machines and humans converge like never before. And as AI continues to reshape every industry and workforce, the need for visionary leaders who can harness its power and unlock new opportunities has never been greater.

Join me, Dr Mark van Rijmenam, as we dive into the fascinating world of synthetic media, data, and biology and explore the seven key principles of leading in a synthetic world.

From embracing your synthetic self to adopting an exponential mindset and long-term thinking, I’ll equip you with the tools and insights you need to thrive in this age of AI.

In this exciting and thought-provoking keynote, we’ll explore how to prepare for the synthetic future and apply cutting-edge technologies to drive innovation, growth, and transformation.

So, get ready to ignite your imagination, unlock your potential, and become a true leader in the era of synthetic reality!

Leadership in a World Driven by Exponential Change

As a leader, staying ahead of the curve and understanding how the world around us is rapidly evolving, fuelled by exponential growth in technologies like AI, is critical.

But in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, missing the train can mean the end of your organisation, no matter how big or old your company is. 

Together, we’ll explore the critical skills and competencies essential for success in a world driven by exponential change, from embracing an exponential mindset to developing a long-term strategic vision that will guide your organisation into the future.

In this inspiring keynote, I’ll take you on a journey into the future and equip you with the tools and insights you need to stay ahead of the curve.

So, get ready to embrace the future of leadership and become a true leader in the age of exponential change with me, Dr Mark van Rijmenam.

In this mind-bending keynote, we will explore what is real and what is fake in a world driven by synthetic data and media. In an algorithmic post-truth world, the lines between reality and fiction are becoming increasingly blurred, and it’s essential to understand how to navigate this new landscape. 

As Morpheus said in The Matrix, “What is real? How do you define real?” But even his definition is no longer true in today’s world.

That’s why I’m excited to bring my digital twin to this talk and take the audience on a journey into the unknown, exploring the latest trends and emerging technologies that are reshaping our world and our perception of reality.

Together, we’ll explore the implications of this new world, from the challenges and opportunities of synthetic data and media to the ethical considerations of using these technologies.

So, get ready to challenge your assumptions and redefine your understanding of what is real and what is fake.
