Keynotes
Keynote by Micael Dahlen: How to die with a smile on your face
Isn’t that what it’s all about in the end? Making the most out of your business, your career, your life.
Based on research on what makes us happy, what we regret the most in life, and new consumer behaviors, the spotlight is focused on how to do what you do to make sure that everybody leaves with a smile on their face.
Keynote by Micael Dahlen: Next: Saving the world
According to NASA, we will be able to move to Mars by 2030. And if we continue living the way we are, we’ll be needing that new home. Unless we use the strange drives that constantly move us forward and onto the next thing to not consume more but smarter and better.
Based on the latest findings on happiness and motivational drives and rules of business and economics, let’s try saving the world.
Keynote by Micael Dahlen: Everybody’s gay: a peek into the inevitable future
Whether you like it or not, the future is going to be a lot different from now, and it’s here sooner than you think. Be prepared, and maybe even learn from it in advance, with a peek into our quickly changing minds and behaviors and a long, hard look at the people you will meet tomorrow.
Keynote by Micael Dahlen: Capitalism revamped
It’s not about the money anymore. Most people have more than enough of that but aren’t any happier for it, and might not have any need for it in a world where it will be soon be free to go to space. And still, we’re growing more capitalistic than ever, keeping an even closer look on the score. Only the score now counts in clout, time and finger capital, following our evolving behaviors and changing the rules for business.
