I had the pleasure of working with Bart on our Data and AI Conference Europe 2024 where he delivered a keynote. Bart was a joy to work with: he is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, an impressive speaker and is always looking to deliver the best bespoke keynote possible. I am already looking to re-book Bart for 2025. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any speaking engagement.

Bart has given Keynote talks at a couple of our conferences, and the audience reaction has been strongly positive each time. His talks are insightful, practical, and entertaining. He can discuss human behavior with the unique authenticity and perspective of a first responder. He can also dive deeply into technology, or bring in academic research to help explain his message, as someone with a background in science and teaching. He speaks with authority and confidence in his subject, but also brings in interesting and fun examples to illustrate his points.

It’s clear that he cares a lot about delivering value when he is on stage, but he doesn’t parachute in then disappear right after he speaks. Nor does he give exactly the same presentation to every group he meets. Bart is exceptionally personable, and will try to stay at the meeting longer, before and after his talk, so that the audience has the opportunity to engage with him one on one. He often uses this time to understand the audience better, and where they are coming from, so he can relate his message more to their needs.

Bart is always well-prepared, communicates thoroughly, and meets all his deadlines. From an organizer’s perspective, he is a professional in every sense of word, and a pleasure to do business with.
