Please reach out (contact@magnuskalkuhl.com) if you are looking for a keynote speaker who provides actionable insights into the realms of artificial intelligence, IT security, and emerging technologies. While every presentation is tailored to resonate with diverse audiences (e.g., professional background, event focus, level of technical expertise), here are some potential topics:

- "Survival in a post-ChatGPT world" (AI focus): The future has arrived, but while technology keeps getting faster and better every year, we humans remain the same. Here’s how to make the most of it while still having fun along the way.

- "Safely into the future" (IT security focus): For decades, defenders and attackers alike have constantly updated their technology stacks and processes. But in recent years, the pace has increased significantly. What can remain as is, and what must change to keep your systems safe? The answer is not only about technology.

- "What’s next?" (technology outlook): The technological revolution has just begun — whether that’s for the best or the worst is yet to be seen, but getting an overview of upcoming developments and their potential impact will help you make informed decisions about the future.
