The keynotes

Mieke De Ketelaere

"AI is everywhere—yet only 25% of companies are truly unlocking its value. The open question is: Why hasn’t this number moved, even with all the progress we’ve made in the past years?  The answer is simple: Because success isn’t just about tools—it’s about rethinking how people and technology work together. It is about going beyond the logical thinking, into creative and critical thinking. AI and AI agents hold promise, but without redesigning processes and clarifying human leadership, impact stalls. Leading companies don’t just deploy—they reshape, reinvent, and invest where it truly matters.

This keynote explores not only the latest insights, but also foresights into where AI is heading next. The audience will examine both the value and the limitations of the latest AI technologies. They’ll gain clarity on where human leadership is irreplaceable—and reveal the deeper transformation required to turn AI into lasting impact. "
