GLOBAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Finding the best speaker for your event, your conference and your organisation is about more than expertise or demeanour. The ability to fascinate and to entertain in a deeper sense – to hold our attention – is critical. A great speaker commands attention, suspends disbelief, feeds the imagination, and teaches in a way the audience won’t even realise they are being taught.
Gerd Leonhard is a seasoned performer, both on actual stages and in virtual or digital-only environments such as Zoom Teams or Restream. From his early days as a musician to his present status as one of the world’s most prominent futurist speakers, Gerd Leonhard is a global presence at home in any culture or vertical, and capable of transporting his audience to a completely new place.
Each of Gerd’s speaking engagements is customized to the market, audience and immediate context – no two audiences have ever experienced the same Gerd. Gerd is constantly learning and refining his vision and arguments, enriching his highly persuasive style with story dynamics that involve the audience at a deeper, more experiential level.
Gerd’s vision is twofold: to present the multiple futures facing every industry or organisation at any one time, and – crucially – to help the participants identify and discover their ‘preferred future’ that matches their unique destiny and backstory.

GLOBAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER (rated in the top 30 in 2025)
Gerd Leonhard: For the Human Future. Public Thinker, Advocate for Humanity, Film-Maker, Author and Keynote Speaker. In an era defined by exponential technologies and radical shifts, Gerd serves as a vocal defender of human values, ethics, and agency. Through his cinematic presentations, short films and real-time curations, he makes the argument for The Good Future—a world where technology serves the 5Ps (People, Planet, Purpose, Peace and Prosperity) rather than the other way around. While others sell the “next big thing,” Gerd advocates for the “only big thing”: our continued humanity.
All of Gerd’s speaking engagements are customised to the event's location, audience and overall context – no two audiences have ever experienced the same Gerd. Gerd is constantly refining his vision and his arguments, enriching his highly persuasive style with story dynamics that involve the audience at a deeper and more experiential level.
