North America: where the speaking profession sets its standard
North America runs the world's largest conference market, and its audiences have seen it all. They expect speakers who deliver substance, not just stage presence. The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®) designation, awarded by the National Speakers Association in the United States, is the profession's benchmark for exactly that. Dr. Florian Ilgen, CSP® holds it, placing him among the top 1% of keynote speakers worldwide.
Many of the organisations he has spoken for are North American companies with global teams, among them Cisco, Amgen, Abbott, Biogen, CDW and Ingram Micro. From executive leadership meetings to sales kick-offs and large conferences, he knows how these companies think about change, AI and leadership. With 950+ keynotes on five continents, he brings that experience to stages across the US and Canada.
North American events come in clear formats, and each keynote has a natural home. At a sales kick-off, AI Advantage shows teams how to turn AI tools into more time with customers. At an annual conference or association meeting, Change Mindset gives a large, mixed audience a shared language for the next wave of change. At a leadership retreat, Innovation Leadership helps executives decide which ideas deserve to scale. All three are built on the EKM Model®: Entertainment, Knowledge and Motivation.
