Nikola Danaylov was a speaker/panelist at the MPI Toronto Professional Development Session entitled "What's Next: Decoding the Future". He captured the participants' attention with his wonderful and clear communication style, and the references/examples he listed throughout the presentation helped drive his points home very effectively. Nikola's pleasant personality and vast knowledge and experience in the field of futurism, made him an ideal and relevant speaker for our session.

Nikola made a great impression on me, on the way I saw things. He is such a powerful storyteller that transmits his insights of the future, while impacting others lives. His message was enriching, it continues resounding in my mind. His enthusiasm gets all the attendees highly involved. I can wait to have the opportunity to talk to him again in person. Meanwhile I'll listen to his podcast Singularity.FM and I will follow his recommendarions: let's be restless, embrace change, and frequently leave our comfort zone.

Nikola is a powerful storyteller who can transmit his views of the future in a way that touches everybody, and his message resounds in the audience mind. He is also very enthusiastic and gets highly involved much in advance of his participation. A reliable, kind and grateful person, Nikola is one of the smartest people I have met.

I want to write this highly positive recommendation to Nikola, but not only for the great speaker he is, but to let you know that his keynote is a glimpse of the future, but more than that is a key to get the way to embrace and thrive in this future, instead of be kept wrapped in a future shock; great keynote Nikola, and a bright description of what we will live in the near future. ¡Kudos Nikola! I highly recommend to engage Nikola in any event you may have where the future play an importan role, and what industry or business is not interested in the near future and how to better face it and even embracing it without the future shock it implies?; do not hesitate inviting Nikola since early stages as he can set a great environment for any kind of event, presentation or talking.

Nikola was the opening keynote speaker at Cochlear’s 2020 Emerging Markets Meeting, where he succeeded in setting up the environment within which we – his audience gave birth to our own ideas as per the best ways to surf the coming waves of technological change. It was impressive to see Nikola’s professionalism and the way he delivered his keynote. So, if you need a keynote speaker for your event, I highly recommend him.

We can’t say enough how pleased we were with Nikola as our keynote speaker! We really took a leap of faith in hiring him to speak at our Devolutions Central event since we’ve never heard a speech by him before, well it was a leap which will never regret! Nikola spent a whole day with us at the event prior to his speech and was able to get a real feel of what we needed and who our clients were, delivering a personalized presentation that was energized, articulate and left the audience truly feeling inspired. I strongly recommend Nikola if you need a great AI speaker, you won’t be disappointed!

I had the great pleasure of working with Nikola on an event I recently had where he was one of my speakers, and it was a really nice experience. He was very attentive towards the content and the target group for the event, and he willingly took part in several sessions during the event. The attendees were very pleased with his presentations and input and valued his presence in the program. Furthermore, Nikola was a joy to work with – seen from the planner’s perspective. He was quick to respond, did everything in a timely manner, and strove to make my job administrating the event as easy as possible. His huge knowledge of his topic as well as his polite attitude towards other people, makes me look forward to the next time I can work with Nikola.

It’s not every day one encounters a speaker who leaves such a remarkable and unshakable impression on a room of skeptics, visionaries, and discerning minds alike. When Nikola Danaylov took the stage for my organization, The JRT Agency, its affiliates, clients, and friends he did not merely deliver a keynote; he commandeered a deeply contemplative journey that swept through an audience ranging from CEOs and CMOs to creative executives, entrepreneurs, and politicians. The collective response was nothing short of phenomenal, marked by spontaneous applause, animated discussion, and a day-after deluge of requests for the talk’s recording. As one friend candidly admitted, it might well have been the most impactful keynote he’d ever experienced. For anyone wondering whether Nikola’s perspective on futurism, adaptability, and innovation is relevant, let me assure you it is not merely relevant; it is crucial. In a world accelerating at breakneck speed toward complexities and challenges we’ve yet to fully understand, Nikola brings a penetrating clarity, a lucidity that both unsettles and inspires. He doesn’t simply tell you where the world is headed; he equips you to navigate it with conviction and adaptability. If you’re considering a keynote speaker who can not only open minds but also arm your team with a way to confront change, Nikola Danaylov is, quite frankly, the speaker you cannot afford to overlook.
