GERD LEONHARD: LEADING VIRTUAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Supercharge Your Next Virtual Event or Online Conference with Futurist Gerd Leonhard

There are many reasons to be hopeful about the future but deep uncertainty and confusion still prevails. It sometimes feels like we’ve lost the plot on what was once ‘normal’ or ‘business as usual‘  – there is a lot of questioning and reckoning, from climate change and decarbonisation to capitalism, globalisation and multilateralism. We are entering a decade of deep transformation, and Gerd believes that increased ‘future-readiness‘ will be crucial.

Now more than ever before, every organisation needs to keep talking to its people as well as its stakeholders, clients, customers and partners, while constantly up-skilling its leaders and its workforce. 

This is where Gerd comes in. Beyond his experience on conference stages around the globe and working with the likes of Microsoft, Audi, Lego, Mastercard, DELL Technologies, UBS, Electronic Arts, the European Commission, and many more Fortune 500 companies, governments and NGOs, his industry-defining presentations and commitment to digital excellence has allowed him to become the world’s leading virtual speaker and presenter for those organizations that look not only to survive but to thrive.

The Good Future: Gerd’s Most Popular Keynote

Amidst the fears and everyday realities of wars and more pandemics, the urgency to address global warming and the societal challenges of technological hyper-transformation the world continues to change at a mind-boggling pace. Radical and once unthinkable climate-emergency measures like new carbon taxes (such as for airline tickets or  for buying meat) are becoming increasingly likely as consumers and concerned citizens around the world push for real and unheard-of change.

Why and how “People-Planet-Purpose and Prosperity” is the key to our Future

On top of the many challenges brought on by the pandemic and the Russia/Ukraine war, the urgency to address global warming and the mounting societal challenges of technological hyper-transformation, the world continues to change at a mind-boggling pace. Radical and once unthinkable climate-emergency measures like new carbon taxes (such as for aviation or for eating  meat) are becoming increasingly likely as consumers and concerned citizens around the world push for real change. At the same time, Company CEO’s are touting their new commitments to stakeholder values, not just shareholder values. Tensions abound.

What kind of future do we want?  Is our current economic logic even suitable for the future? Will ‘free and open markets’ deliver solutions for these complex global issues?

‘Green New Deals‘ are blossoming everywhere. New funding is flowing into climate change adaptation and mitigation, with potentially 10s of Millions of new jobs in sustainability-focused sectors in the near future. The global shift towards a new kind of capitalism will reboot markets around the world in the next 5-7 years as we transition from the outdated single bottom-line of GDP-Growth and Profit to what I call the quadruple bottom-line: People, Planet, Purpose and Prosperity  * aka sustainable capitalism, post-capitalism or conscious capitalism.  Visit my new Good Future Hub for constant updates.

This is what Gerd's virtual keynotes look like

FUTURIST AND VIRTUAL SPEAKER

Gerd offers many virtual engagement options:

  1. An online event or conference with all speakers and all audience members participating remotely (i.e. there is no real-life audience or physical venue). Gerd can provide a bespoke virtual keynote on these topics (among many others – please inquire), or a package with other great speakers led by him, or even host, moderate and guide the entire event for you.
  2. A real-life or hybrid conference in a physical location, with Gerd contributing a bespoke keynote remotely (using Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, MSFT Teams, Crowdcast, Vimeo Live, Hopin or any other preferred platform).
  3. A pre-recorded, bespoke and custom-produced keynote on a specified topic that is presented on HD-video formats at internal events or on the client’s intranet or via a special web page (i.e. not real-time and online). This is often combined with a post-screening online Q&A session (if desired).
