Keynote Speaker Europe: Change, AI and Leadership

NEW Speaker Reel: Dr. Florian Ilgen - The Keynote Experience

From Germany to the whole of Europe

Europe is Dr. Florian Ilgen's home stage. His keynote career began in Germany in 2009 and soon spread across the German-speaking world, from corporate conferences in Munich, Hamburg and Berlin to leadership events in Zurich, Vienna and Basel. Today, his calendar takes him across the continent, from Stockholm and Copenhagen in the north to Turin and Mallorca in the south.

Along the way, he has spoken for organisations that shape Europe's economy: UBS in Zurich, PwC at its Digital Spring Summit in Davos, Cisco in Vienna, Michelin in Stockholm, SKF in Turin, CBRE in Paris and HSMAI Europe in London. Each of these rooms brought its own culture, language and expectations, and each keynote was built for exactly that audience.

European audiences tend to ask “why?” before “how?”. That shapes all three keynotes: AI Advantage starts where the EU AI Act and data caution stop most teams, Change Mindset speaks to organisations that have been transforming for years and are tired of it, and Innovation Leadership helps executives in long-established companies decide what to keep and what to let go. In English, German or Spanish, from a national sales kick-off to a pan-European conference, built on the EKM Model®.

Keynote speaker in your European city

  1. Most European venues are a short flight or train ride away, so one-day trips and back-to-back dates in neighbouring countries are easy to plan. From London to Istanbul and from Stockholm to Málaga, pick your country: each city page covers venues, the local audience culture and the evening after the keynote.

    Planning a keynote in Europe: one continent, many languages

    The EU alone has 24 official languages, and the language of a keynote often decides how much of it stays with the audience. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Dr. Ilgen speaks in German, the language in which his keynote career began in 2009. In Spain, the keynote is delivered in Spanish. For pan-European conferences and international teams, English is usually the shared language, and in markets such as France, Italy or Turkey the keynote can be combined with simultaneous interpretation. Examples, pace and humour are adapted to each audience, so a board meeting in Zurich and a sales kick-off in Madrid get the same message in a form that fits their room.
