Five things that make the difference
A name, not just an agency
Organisers book a person. For us, that's Ruben Horbach — his own introduction page, his own credentials.
View the speaker kitResearch into your sector
No recycled slides. Every keynote is preceded by research into the client's industry.
A full recording, not a highlight reel
Always ask for one. We have three online to review beforehand.
Watch the recordingsWhere the price comes from
Location, duration and travel distance determine it. Ask about the breakdown, not just the total.
How much lead time is realistic
Four weeks or more, mostly for the sector research. Short notice? Ask anyway — sometimes it's still possible.
When a keynote isn't the right instrument
- Want a team to actually learn to apply it themselves? That's training, not a keynote.
- Want a day of hands-on building with AI? That's the AI Challenge.
