Speakers

How is an industry founded on paper trails adapting in a digital era? Enter Bunq, an IT company with a banking licence. Founder Ali Niknam joined us to discuss how they are innovating within the finance industry by building products that people want to use, rather than have to use.

James Veenhoof treated us to a tour of Denim City, our venue for dinner. Founded as a center for craftsmanship and innovation, it is a school/lab/workshop/collaboration space that is pushing the city's world renowned denim community ’Towards A Brighter Blue’.

PostPanic decided to take on Hollywood by making feature films for a fraction of the budget. A $50k Kickstarter campaign for Sundays led to them being at the centre of a bidding war between Sony, Universal and Warner. Their ongoing aim to disrupt the movie industry is just getting started.

What does it take to instill a truly creative culture within a business? What are the tools used when developing creative leadership? Head coach Robert Wolfe joined us for an interactive session to equip us with some new skills.

Afraina De Jong is a cultural entrepreneur. Her work within architecture and urban planning is redefining the ways we share information and public space to improve our cities and our personal well-being. Afraina shared her experiences of helping brands understand how people make the difference.

Described as ‘France’s answer to Banksy’, Christian Guémy aka C215 is considered one of the top veterans still in the game, Christian talked about his unconventional growth story as an artist, building a reputation spraycan by spraycan to the point where he is now being supported by countries and governments.
