Speaking

I frequently contribute to conferences as a speaker or panelist, and occasionally as a conference chair or program director. I like to explore topics around the impact of emerging technology (like Internet of Things or artificial intelligence), and what happens at the intersection of tech and society. In 2020, a strong focus is on trustable technology, how policy and the state can help guide technology in the interest of society, and concretely things like the intersection of smart cities and policy.

If you’d like to book me as a speaker for your in-house event, please get in touch.
