In keynotes and masterclasses that go beyond just mentioning trends, Loren picks apart new approaches and technologies helping his audience understand when and how they should be used.

As technology advances the world around us is changing rapidly, mostly for the better. Walk into a hospital today and you won’t be subjected to 400-year-old approaches to medicine, which we can all agree is a good thing. But what about your school or even your online course? What would you say if you found out that learning is still based on a broken, 400-year-old system?

In a fascinating story that picks apart our school system and even “modern” e-learning approaches, Loren introduces his audience to principles that will make them look at learning in a whole new way, both in school and at work.

Over the past few years, the Virtual Reality hype has been massive. It’s hard to find a technology event where there isn’t some company demonstrating a new VR experience, Microsoft’s Augmented Reality Hololens, or some other new device that promises to change our lives forever. Is everyone really going to have a VR headset at home in 3 years, or are we missing something?

Based on 11 years of experience at the cutting edge of VR technology, Loren explains where VR comes from (the 1970’s), why it’s making a comeback now, how it can be used and, just as importantly, where it doesn’t make any sense.

The world of business is changing, we’ve all seen the signs: massive companies going bankrupt, small contenders growing to become market leaders in a matter of years and regulators struggling to keep up. How can your business survive and thrive with new technologies being introduced every day and business models that seemed to be generally accepted failing left and right?

Taking lessons from real-life failures and successes, Loren uncovers the hidden story behind these massive disruptions, stories that show why companies went bankrupt, what the board members missed, and how do other companies managed to succeed and benefit.

To succeed in a rapidly changing business climate you need the right tools and approach. Few innovators are as admired for their way of thinking as Elon Musk, who singlehandedly managed to turn the ideas we had about solar power, electric cars and even space travel upside down. What’s the secret to his bold approach and how can we learn from it?

In this talk Loren discusses the disruptive thought process behind Elon’s creations and shows how this first principles approach is used not just by Elon Musk, but by countless other innovators. Better yet, it’s an approach you too can master and apply to your business challenges.

Is your company doing something with Big Data? How about AI? Blockchain? Chances are that you’ve got initiatives going on in all these areas and more… But do you really understand what these buzzwords entail, or are complex sounding terms and high-priced consultants keeping you from realizing the simple and powerful understandings you need to make wise decisions?

In this action-packed talk Loren takes on explaining all the buzzwords you really wanted to understand but were afraid to ask about. With his hard-hitting no-nonsense breakdowns, he provides key insights and makes you wonder why no one put it in such simple terms before.
