Keynotes

“AI keynotes are a festival. We laugh, we learn, and we grow inspired.”

Fiona Passantino is a corporate speaker, trainer and coach, helping empower Working Humans at the point where AI and Human intersect. To maximize communication and connection, engagement and creativity. Importantly, to bring inspiration into the workplace.

“We do live multimodal generation, like a DJ for professional productivity tools. We get interactive with physical materials, from Legos to balloon folding to music production to Play-Doh.”

The following topics are flexible and always designed for you: your industry, your challenges, your topics. As short as a 30-minute online session to a full-day interactive event. From soaring, inspirational keynotes meant to empower, teach and guide, to wild, entertaining, educational events that connect, inform and engage.

Keynotes are in Dutch and English.
