Keynote Topics

Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital transformation and disruption is coming at us fast.

Many organizations see this wave as a threat and experience stress, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.

Christian Kromme shows your audience in a fascinating keynote, the rise of digital technology.

And the way this will lead humanity to a more meaningful future.

He shows beautiful visuals in his keynote and tells practical tips and tells a very personal story about his daughter.

 

For a long time people are talking about Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, but it’s really going to happen right now.

In this keynote about the future of Artificial Intelligence I tell about the rise and impact of Artificial Intelligence. Companies must be prepared for this, so they can participate in these changes.

Organizations that don’t look at AI and Robotics could be disappear within a few years.

Christian Kromme was an innovative tech-entrepreneur for 15 years until he discovered the DNA behind disruptive innovation and how to use this to predict the next big wave of technological disruption. Now Christian Kromme is one of the most in-demand futurist keynote speakers, speaking in front of tens of thousands of entrepreneurs, business leaders and policymakers about the radical impact of disruptive technologies on humans and organisations.

As a tech-entrepreneur Christian has participated in several successful ‘disruptive’ start-ups, often spin-outs in completely different industries but always focused on the interface between humans and increasing technology. In 2002, Christian Kromme founded his own agency that helped organisations like: Shell, Randstad, Essent, Endemol, Corio, Eyeworks, ABP, Oracle, Philips, Toyota, Auping, Adidas, Rabobank to dramatically increase their rate of innovation.

Throughout the years the agency and Christian received several nominations and awards for its innovative vision and human-oriented approach.

Beside speaking Christian Kromme holds a position as a board member at the Workforce Institute EMEA, The Human Genome Foundation  and some tech startups.

Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital disruption is coming at us fast. Many organizations experience this wave as a threat and fear them, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.

Disruptive organizations like Uber and Airbnb think like surfers and know exactly where and when they need to jump on the wave to harness the power of the wave to make exponential speed. Christian Kromme challenges organizations to think and act like a surfer and thus helps to transform disruptive threats into disruptive opportunities. In 2011, Christian Kromme did a unique finding.

During the search for his daughter’s health Christian Kromme discovered a unique wave pattern in the development of cells and biological organisms. These seven wave patterns also form a blueprint for the disruptive technology trends that we see around us today; the patterns are even able to predict future technology trends. This gives organizations and companies more certainty in the future and thus a solid foundation in the formation of long-term visions and strategies.

These and many other issues are answered by Christian during his sessions.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
