How are things done online? In this keynote, visitors to your event will learn modern etiquette rules - in a fun, interactive and playful way. The lecture concludes with a quiz, providing lots of interaction!

What to do when your child has 10 hours of screen time a day? Is it okay to google a (business) appointment extensively? How do you react when a conspiracy theory is shared in the group app? Is it helpful to google all your ailments? In the book Not Apping While Eating, Aaron Mirck answers these questions. It is a handy and funny guide for anyone who stumbles over the unwritten rules in the workplace and private life. The book was discussed in many media, such as the FD, LindaNieuws, Hart van Nederland, Goedemorgen Nederland, Radio 1 and on Telegraaf TV.

This book comes to life in an accessible keynote and interactive quiz, useful for anyone stumbling over the unwritten rules in the digital age. In this lecture, attendees will be led away into a world of video calling, dickpicks, boastful LinkedIn posts, emoji babies, disappointing dating apps, screen time overdose, squeezed-out flash messengers, and irritating group chats and voice memes. After the lecture, there will be a quiz, testing the audience's knowledge of digital etiquette. You will be surprised how fanatical people get from such a quiz. Ideal as a finale to an event or as a "bridge" to drinks or lunch.

Would you prefer a keynote and quiz focused on business manners? We can do that too! Digital etiquette can also be relevant at work. For example, many companies employ digital nomads who work location-independently. As a digital nomad, how do you prevent your colleagues from becoming jealous of your adventures? If your boss or colleague sends an app or e-mail on Sunday, are you supposed to respond the same day? What happened to LinkedIn, which looks less and less like a business network and more and more like a bulletin board for self-congratulations? And how do you say hello on a busy Zoom call? These questions will be answered in a keynote and quiz tailored for business events. Ideal for the colleague who always dials in late on a video call or raises his child as an influencer.

Practical interpretation
In a 30- to 45-minute lecture and subsequent quiz, I'll update you on digital etiquette. In consultation we determine the length of the keynote and which aspects should be emphasized. For example: the new way of working, screen time, work-life balance, privacy, digital detox, how to be smarter with technology at home or at work. Customization is possible.

The keynote is:
Content: the content of to keynote was created through interviews with 20+ experts on privacy, data, screen time, fake news, LinkedIn and digital nomads.
Accessible: the content is approachable, laced with humor and has many recognizable situations and dilemmas.
Practical: the visitor goes home with practical tips.

This is what others say: "Thanks to his accessible story, told with humor and flair, new technology becomes understandable for many. An inspiring and very topical story that really appeals to the imagination," said Ingrid Grimbergen, Communications Manager at the Maastricht Convention Bureau.
