Keynote:
From Data to the best Decision
How to make people care, understand, and act upon data with the A.R.T. model.
In a world overflowing with data, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We often rush our decisions, fearing we'll fall behind our competitors or miss our personal goals.
But do we ever pause and ask ourselves:
“Do we actually trust this data?”
In the age of AI, where everything is tracked, stored, and reported, all this information can feel like a mountain ready to crumble. What if you could turn this avalanche of information into data stories that build trust and drive action?
After a decade in the field, I have seen many professionals struggle to effectively communicate the value of their data. As a result, they often fail to persuade stakeholders to make informed decisions, leading to missed opportunities.
It's time to change that.
In this keynote, we'll look at the following topics:
-
Avoid common pitfalls: Learn how to avoid common pitfalls in data visualizations, ensuring your audience understands and trusts your data.
-
Leverage psychology of perception: Discover how our brains process information through the dual processing theory and use this knowledge to your advantage.
-
Know your audience: Gain insights into how to get inside your audience's mind to facilitate better data understanding.

Keynote:
Outsmart the Algorithm
Reclaim your judgment in an AI-driven world.
In a time where AI can generate images, write reports, and even predict our next move, one question becomes unavoidable:
"Are we as humans still in charge, or are we going too fast?"
This keynote checks into the paradox of data. On one hand, we live in a world of infinite information and groundbreaking AI tools. On the other, we’re overwhelmed by misinterpretations, fake data, and misplaced trust.
With fun, relatable stories, and razor-sharp insights, I reveal how easily our perception of reality is shaped (and sometimes distorted) by the data we consume. From the Rolex that looks real but struggles under the hood, to viral AI content that blurs the line between fiction and truth, this keynote is both a wake-up call and a guide.
You’ll walk away with:
-
A deeper understanding of AI’s role in shaping our reality
-
A myth-busting look at how context influences data trust
-
Clear thinking tools to navigate the 'infodemic'
