Tech expert, TEDx speaker and author Jarno Duursma

Jarno Duursma is an independent technology expert, publicist, researcher and speaker on digital technology. He has written four books, including on artificial intelligence, creative machines, deepfake technology and blockchain. Jarno is frequently featured in daily newspapers and national media such as EenVandaag, NOS, RTL4 and writes opinion articles for FD, NRC and Volkskrant among others. He is creator of the ‘listening to the future’ tech-podcast and the ‘Trending in Tech’ newsletter.

"Jarno gave an update on the latest technoligy trends. Within short time we were up to speed on topics such as artificial intelligence, conversational commerce, et cetera. In his own - sometimes humorous - way you get inspired, so you can continue to explore your interests. As far as I'm concerned, it was a lecture that surpassed the rest of the day in terms of content. "

"Working with Jarno is always a pleasure. Also for Frankwatching's most recent Conversational Commerce Event, Jarno actively thought with me, was open to ideas and provided a strong opening keynote on the day itself. A valuable addition to the program, both in content and in person."

"For the first edition of our online digital marketing event at Achmea, Jarno gave a lecture on synthetic media and deepfakes. Jarno conveys the message with a lot of energy and makes the subject very accessible, also for colleagues who have little digital knowledge. With the help of striking examples you are completely taken into the world of this new technology."

"Jarno was the final guest speaker at our customer day. He gave a fluent presentation with practical examples of technologies that sometimes still seem a bit elusive. It was important to us that our customers could imagine how they could apply new technologies in their own business. Jarno certainly succeeded in doing that. It was an informative, interesting, but also entertaining end to the day. Thanks a lot!"

"Attractive, clear and balanced - that's how I would characterize Jarno Duursma's lecture. Too often trendwatchers mainly promise golden mountains about the future. Jarno Duursma speaks inspiringly about future digital trends, but with the necessary critical reflection, and always with an eye for the human being."

Jarno not only highlighted the latest IT trends in a humorous way, but also sparked the necessary discussions about the bright and dark sights of ever-increasing automation.

"Jarno took us into the rapidly changing digital world with an emphasis on artificial intelligence. During his talk he made a clear link to our business which makes it not only very interesting but also very relevant. Certainly an added value for us as inspiration but also as a reminder that it is important to know what is happening around us so that we as a company can better respond to it."
