With over 25 years of experience founding and running high-velocity tech companies, I’ve seen my fair share of new ideas come, go and conquer.
But how do you know which is which? And even more importantly, how do you thrive in a world that changes every hour?
That’s the role of the futurist: to identify important trends relevant to your attendees, break them down into easily understandable chunks, and provide a process to attack new opportunities.
That’s what you get from great futurist keynote speakers: the ability to move beyond the buzzwords and fear of the unknown to uncover the actionable insights that will drive positive change going forward among your attendees. Nothing is less motivating than a laundry list of things you should be worried about without any way of leveraging it as opportunity. I understand this intimately, and deliver innovation keynotes that inspire and motivate.
“It was a pleasure to have someone as distinguished as Gabe at our event. He was very funny and personable. His keynote was intriguing and was well received by our event participants. I particularly enjoyed how he embedded our content, teaching English Language Learners, into his break out session.”
