Nonference and Inference Conferences

Ivan has the rare ability to communicate complex ideas and concepts in an engaging way. He has captivated audiences, he can challenge an audience of experts and manage to make them rethink some long held beliefs whilst providing key takeaway points that many attendees where able to put into action.
Ivan is a master of his craft, his intellect, wit and charisma add to any event he is involved in - he always ensures that his presentations are relevant to the audience. At every event I have organised I have had amazing feedback about his presentations - put simply - if you want an exceptional speaker who will create significant value to your audience Ivan should be top of your list.

It’s not every day that I instantly “click” with a person, but that was the case with Ivan. We connected via Twitter, and after getting to know him better, and watching some of his talks online, I invited him to speak at Spark.me 2014 in Montenegro. Ivan delivered a talk on digital transformation and innovation, and absolutely owned the Spark.me stage.
His combination of substance, in-depth knowledge and humor really resonated with the audience. I was especially impressed by Ivan’s kindness and willingness to interact with the attendees during the breaks and social gatherings, as well as his patience and consideration to accept numerous photo requests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ivan as a speaker to every conference program director!

Fly High: How to Create, Innovate and Lead at the Highest Level

Building a successful business requires, among other things, developing the ability to take risks. A great example of individuals and teams accomplishing extraordinary results based on their ability to embrace risk are Flying Trapeze artists, and this presentation explores seven specific insights from the world of Circus, that entrepreneurs can adapt and develop in order to build a successful business.

Customer Experience as the Catalyst for Digital Transformation

Digital is changing how people make decisions and how they want to do business. In fact, every industry, as we know it, will be disrupted by digital technologies and regardless of industry or geography; businesses will become much more digitized in the future. It’s inevitable.

Therefore, organizations must adapt and embrace digital transformation to drive higher levels of profit, productivity, and performance.

Customer Experience is the catalyst for Digital Transformation. The experience people have and share is the future of branding, marketing, and customer engagement. This is why you must become an experience architect who can re-imagine and rebuild a new customer journey to create meaningful and shareable experiences in every moment, blurring the line between digital and physical customer experiences.
