An AI conference or themed event deserves a host who truly understands the field. Hylke Thiry builds and sells with AI himself, and kicks off the day with the AI News Bulletin: a series of short news segments highlighting what has genuinely changed over the past few months. He then connects the speakers, asks the questions the audience may be hesitant to ask, and presents thought-provoking statements for discussion. Sharp, fast-paced, and with a point of view of his own.
A day that starts with the latest AI news and ends with an opinion.
AI is changing every month. Your audience wants to know what’s happening, but also what to make of it. A host who doesn’t understand the field will ask the wrong questions.
Hylke hosts your conference or themed event. He opens with the AI News Bulletin, connects the speakers, and keeps the audience engaged and thinking critically.
Why Hylke
Hylke builds and sells with AI himself and follows the news daily. He asks the questions the audience may be hesitant to ask, and isn’t afraid to share his own opinions.
What your event gets
– An opening that brings everyone up to speed in 15 minutes, presented in the style of a
news broadcast – A clear thread connecting the speakers throughout the day – A closing session highlighting the three key takeaways of the day
Getting the audience involved
Throughout the event, Hylke presents statements for the audience to vote on using their phones. He incorporates the results into his discussions with the speakers.
Ideal for
AI conferences, themed events, networking gatherings, and industry associations.
Also available as a standalone session
The 30-minute AI News Bulletin can be booked separately as the opening of a conference or networking event. It is updated every quarter, making it possible to book a fresh edition again and again.

You’ll hear back from Hylke within an hour, with a tailored proposal.

Hylke heeft een prima verhaal. Hij weet van wanten. Hij nam ons mee in de wereld van AI. We zijn getriggerd en dat is precies wat ons doel was. Het is de moeite waard om Hylke te boeken.

Heel hartelijk dank voor de boeiende presentatie gisteren en voor het delen van de waardevolle downloads! Ik vond het een uitstekende interactieve presentatie gisteren op een unieke locatie. Jij gaf veel informatie maar mooi gedoceerd en er was voldoende ruimte om te reageren op vragen en ervaringen vanuit de groep. Die verschillende invalshoeken van deelnemers gaven een extra dimensie. Heel fijn dat jij in jouw email hieronder aangeeft dat jij beschikbaar bent als spreker en dat jij ook allerlei sessies kan verzorgen. Ik heb (nog) niet een agent, dus deze email is zonder AI gegenereerd. Ik ben benieuwd wat mijn AI-assistent voor mij kan gaan betekenen in de communicatie.

Hylke was able to motivate most of the participants to do more with AI. Very practical examples of applications within the event industry.

We had known Hylke for much longer, but started working together intensively during the first editions of the knowledge festivals on podcasts and AI that we organized together with Beeld & Geluid and BNR. Then we also came into contact with his great initiative 'Green Bookings' on the basis of which we invited him to come and speak about sustainability at our Het Grootste Kennisfestival which we organize annually in Deventer for about 1350 participants. We received positive reactions to his story, both in terms of content and the way Hylke presented it. So it is great that he is continuing his speaking career with a number of lectures on themes that are totally spot on at the moment.

I just wanted to thank you for your presentation last Monday on working smarter with AI. What a fine, energetic and inspiring session! You managed to take the audience into the world of AI in an enthusiastic and accessible way. The combination of practical examples, humor and recognizable situations made it not only instructive, but also fun to listen to. You know how to bring complex topics in a light-hearted and understandable way, really a must for anyone who wants to discover how AI can make work more fun and smarter. Thanks again for the valuable and fun presentation!

Just a note to thank you for your wonderful presentation last Monday at the Toussain House. How nice you did that! You really took the audience into the world of AI in an enthusiastic and cheerful way. Everyone was totally into it, recognizable, practical and with a fine dose of humor.
