At the IBTM World 2019, taking place at Fira Barcelona from 19-21 November you can expect a double bill of not one but two inspiring speakers for their third keynote speaker slot. This will be the new ‘ Ted Talk’ style speaker showcase event.

 

Aric Dromi and Margarita Mayo during the  third keynote speaker session, taking place on Wednesday 20 November, will each give a 28-minute talk:

 

 

Aric Dromi, founder of the strategic think tank Tempus.Motu and in-house futurologist of Volvo Cars Group, will present an exciting session on future trends and new technologies, applying disruptive thinking to question how we experience the world, the way we think about thinking, and the way we understand change.

 

 

Margarita Mayo, Professor of Leadership at IE Business School in Madrid, keynote speaker and author, will discuss how to remain authentic in both leadership and life. Margarita features on the Thinkers50 ‘Guru Radar’ as one of the world’s top management experts.

 

 

There will be a brand-new TED talk style speaker showcase immediately following the two keynotes a fascinating bite-sized programme of three 23-minute speakers.

 

 

Oisin Lunny will moderate the events, the speaker showcase will open with ex-Formula one racing driver Jaime Alguersuari. The subject of Jaime’s talk is personal re-invention, and to illustrate this he will take on a journey from competing in the Hungarian Grand Prix aged just 19, to his transition to electronic music producer and DJ.

 

 

 

 

Next up will be CEO and founder of Wordly, Lakshman Rathnam. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, Worldy provides real time simultaneous translation into 15 different languages. Lakshman will discuss why re-thinking how we communicate across different cultures is so important.

 

 

 

Concluding the showcase will be Mariano Sigman; neuroscientist, two-times TED speaker and author of books including ‘The Secret Life of the Mind’.

 

 

David Thompson, Event Director, IBTM World, stated  from speaking to event attendees that an important part of attending an event is to gain new knowledge and ideas, and perhaps a new perspective on the world. They are excited to introduce new speaker showcase and third keynote double-bill, which is packed full of engaging content and speakers to leave attendees feeling invigorated and inspired to apply some of these ideas to their own lives and businesses.
