Short Talk

Our short talk format is an engaging and impactful way to share your knowledge and insights. These talks, similar in style to those of well-known idea-sharing platforms, should be approximately 15-20 minutes long, allowing you to present a focused, compelling narrative on a case study, technology, or specific topic related to AI in Product Development, Management, Design, Innovation or Marketing.

 

Ideal short talks are characterized by:

  1. Conciseness: With a time limit of 20 minutes, these talks should be concise and straight to the point. Your message should be clear, compelling, and easy to understand.

  2. Storytelling: Utilize the power of storytelling to create an emotional connection with your audience. Share personal experiences, case studies, or real-life examples to make your point more relatable.

  3. Insightfulness: The best short talks often offer a fresh perspective or a unique insight into a common issue. Aim to challenge the audience’s thinking and inspire them to see things from a new angle.

  4. Actionable Takeaways: Leave the audience with practical, actionable takeaways. These could be strategies, tips, or steps that they can implement in their own work.

  5. Engaging Visuals: Use compelling visuals to support your talk. This could include slides, images, videos, or props that help illustrate your points and keep the audience engaged.

Remember, the goal of your short talk is not only to inform but also to inspire and provoke thought among the audience. We’re excited to hear your unique insights on AI!

 

Workshop

Our interactive workshop format is designed to foster a dynamic, hands-on learning environment and is aimed at providing a deep dive into AI’s impact on business today. These workshops can be up to 90 minutes in length, although a 60-minute duration is preferred.

 

Key elements of a successful interactive workshop include:

  1. Practical Focus: Center your workshop around imparting specific, practical skills or knowledge. Whether it’s teaching a unique AI technique, demonstrating a novel tool, or exploring an AI application in a real-world context, practicality should be at the core of your session.

  2. Interactivity: Facilitate active participation from attendees. This can be achieved through group discussions, hands-on exercises, live demonstrations, or problem-solving activities.

  3. Clear Learning Outcomes: Identify clear, actionable learning outcomes for your workshop. Attendees should depart with new skills, knowledge, or insights that can be immediately applied to their professional roles.

  4. Engaging Structure: Maintain attendee engagement by creating a structured, yet flexible workshop agenda. This should feature a blend of instruction, demonstration, discussion, and hands-on practice.

  5. Supportive Materials: Consider providing resources to bolster your workshop’s learning objectives. This could encompass handouts, digital content, or toolkits that participants can utilize during the workshop and in their subsequent work.

The primary objective of your workshop should be to stimulate active learning, empowering attendees to leverage the insights and skills acquired in their own position or practice. We eagerly anticipate your innovative and interactive proposals!

 

Keynote

Our 30-minute keynote format provides a platform for thought leaders to delve deeper into the philosophical, theoretical, and future-oriented aspects of AI across product, brand, strategy, and marketing. With a broader time frame, speakers can explore complex ideas, emerging trends, and visionary thoughts in a comprehensive manner.

 

Key characteristics of a successful keynote include:

  1. In-Depth Analysis: Use the extended time frame to explore your topic in depth. This could involve dissecting complex theories, discussing emerging trends, or analyzing the potential implications of AI in across product, brand, strategy, and marketing.

  2. Thought-Provoking Ideas: Keynotes should challenge the status quo and push boundaries. Share forward-looking insights, predictions, or hypotheses that will stimulate debate and provoke thought among the audience.

  3. Inspiring Narrative: Craft a narrative that inspires and motivates. A successful keynote often weaves together data, research, personal anecdotes, and storytelling to create a compelling and inspirational narrative.

  4. Engaging Delivery: With a longer talk, engagement is key. Ensure your delivery is dynamic and engaging, using a mix of tones, pacing, and interactive elements to keep the audience invested throughout.

  5. Visionary Thinking: Keynotes are the perfect platform to share your vision for the future. Whether it’s a philosophical exploration of AI’s role in society or a theoretical prediction about AI’s impact on product management, we want to hear your visionary ideas.

Remember, the goal of your keynote is to inspire the audience and challenge their thinking, offering them a glimpse into the future of AI. We look forward to hearing your thought-provoking insights!
