Keynotes on the Agent-First Era

Peter van Hees speaks to leadership audiences about what happens when software starts to act. Fast, visual, and built for the room in front of him: never a pre-packaged deck. In English, Dutch or French, as a keynote or a hands-on workshop.

AI Agents: They Act, You Orchestrate

A bold look at the future in which agentic AI reshapes work, technology and society, and what leaders do about it now.

Keynote

Keynote

Second Self

How a personal AI agent will quietly live alongside you, and what that means for customers, employees and the companies that serve them.

Workshop

Hands-on agent workshop: build, guardrail, scale to swarms

From prompting to orchestrating autonomous systems. Teams leave with working agents and the limits that keep them safe.

Who books him

Innovation summits, tech conferences, strategy off-sites, leadership retreats and internal inspiration days. Banks, healthcare, mobility and industrial companies: organisations that know the ground is shifting and want a clear-eyed map of it.

What a room leaves with

Not a checklist, a realignment: harder questions about their own operating model, connections between trends others missed, and the shift from observer to orchestrator. If they leave merely impressed, the talk has failed.

An inspiring, engaging speaker who shows vividly how agentic AI will change consumers' lives, and why organisations must adapt to thrive in this new era.
Philip Lobatto, Microsoft
He challenged prevailing assumptions about AI agents, went beyond the hype, and anchored every insight in concrete organisational contexts.
Martin Butler, Professor Management Practice, Vlerick Business School
Never predictable; always surprising, sharp and inspiring in a way that truly sticks. You see people hanging on his every word, from the first minute to the last.
Joke Reynaerts, Chief Commercial Officer, Securex
