Keynote (ENG): Talent, technology and company culture

Keynote: Talent, technology and company culture
For a successful future, organisations must invest in the right talent, technology and a culture of innovation. The advent of AI, blockchain and other disruptive technologies not only offers new opportunities, but also demands a radically different view of leadership and organisational forms.

Menno Lanting
Menno Lanting is considered the leading expert on the impact of the rapidly changing world on leadership, innovation and how we work. He is a much sought-after speaker and advisor. He previously worked in management positions for 20 years, including at the leadership institute de Baak and as an internet entrepreneur.
The common thread in Menno's work is ‘adaptability’. He advises organisations on how to stay connected to the changing world.

Keynote (ENG): From limitation to strength: a story about perseverance

From limitation to strength: a story about perseverance
In a world where perfection often seems to be the norm, Eva Eikhout breaks stereotypes with her authentic story. She shows that physical challenges do not mean you can
achieve less, but that mindset and perseverance make all the difference.

Eva Eikhout
Eva Eikhout is a powerful and inspiring speaker who shows that limitations do not determine what you can achieve. Born without many of her arms and legs, she shows that physical limitations do not have to be limits, but can actually strengthen strength and resilience. With humour, sharpness and personal stories, she highlights themes such as inclusiveness, diversity and personal growth. Her lectures are honest, disarming and provide a fresh perspective on challenges and opportunities.
