There is no single best AI keynote for boards — but there is a best keynote for your board. What a supervisory or executive board needs (strategic routes, governance, investment choices) differs from what a management team needs (bringing teams along, skills, culture). Remy Gieling — technology interpreter, guest lecturer at Nyenrode Business University and one of the most booked AI speakers in the Netherlands — delivers 150+ talks a year to boards, executive teams and management teams. On this page you decide in two minutes which of his four keynotes fits your event.
Four questions, four keynotes. Recognise the question on the left and you know which talk fits.
The most requested keynote for annual conferences and strategy days. Today's signals, what frontrunners do differently, and a 1000-day roadmap for your organisation. Strategic and inspiring.
The current state of AI without the hype: what works, what doesn't, and which decisions you can take this month. Ideal for executive teams and strategists who want to stay sharp.
The skills that make the difference, per role — from prompting to vibecoding and safe data use. For management teams and broad audiences that want to start tomorrow.
From chatbot to digital colleague: what agents cost, where they break and where humans remain indispensable. For IT leaders and operational owners.
Five criteria to judge any AI speaker by — even if you don't end up booking Remy.
Not a generic AI story, but tied to the decisions actually on your table.
AI changes weekly; a deck from last quarter is outdated. Remy finalises his keynote on the day of the event.
Boards want direction, but also want to know what happens on Monday. Every talk ends with concrete choices.
A board hears different examples than a management team or a company-wide kick-off. Content, tone and cases are tuned to who is in the room.
Remy builds with AI himself (ai.nl, The Automation Group) and teaches at Nyenrode; every claim comes from a real production environment.
