AI in the Next 1000 Days

The next thousand days will determine which organisations stay ahead. Remy reveals the signals that are already emerging today: AI agents taking over back-office work, humanoid robots entering the factory floor, and models that improve themselves. Audiences leave with a clear roadmap for this quarter, this year and the journey towards 2028. A powerful opening keynote for annual conferences and leadership events.

About Remy Gieling

Remy Gieling is an entrepreneur whose team builds the technology he talks about on stage. As co-founder of ai.nl and The Automation Group, he sees first-hand what a team of agentic engineers can achieve in real production environments at major Dutch organisations. What works, what it costs and what can go spectacularly wrong: he brings those lessons straight into the room.

He is also an avid user of just about every AI tool that hits the market. New models, agents, apps: he puts them through the reality of his own working week before speaking about them in public. That means he knows which tools are still open on his screen two weeks later — and which have quietly disappeared.

A distinctive voice on AI

To uncover the stories behind the headlines, he travels to Silicon Valley, Shenzhen and Europe’s leading technology companies, including OpenAI, Nvidia, Mistral, ASML and Helsing. He combines that international perspective with what he learned as editor-in-chief of MT/Sprout: how to make sense of developments and put them into context. Every keynote revolves around the question his audience really wants answered: what does this mean for me tomorrow — in my work, my team and my organisation?

Executives get strategic direction. Managers get practical ways to bring their teams along. Professionals get tools they can start using that same week. His slide deck is updated on the morning of the event, because AI news does not wait for the programme committee.

Remy delivers more than 150 keynotes a year for over 350 organisations, with an average audience rating of 8.4. His clients include ASML, De Nederlandsche Bank, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, KPN and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. He has written seven books on AI, is a guest lecturer at Nyenrode Business University and co-host of AI at Work (BusinessWise). He presents fluently in both Dutch and English.

Reviews

Marc Dokter - Enkec Group

"It was really very interesting to have Remy as the keynote speaker at our group management meeting. Most AI speakers mainly show you the most astonishing feats of AI — impressive, but it often stops there. Fun, but what good is that in practice? Remy, of course, also showed some examples, but he mainly emphasized the practical applicability of AI and the path to becoming an organization that truly works with AI. His presentation style also makes it clear that he enjoys sharing his knowledge. In short: highly recommended!"

Otto Hulst - Pension Federation

"Remy presented the impact of AI to the pensions sector in an energetic and enthusiastic way. Through concrete examples and future scenarios, it was not only made tangible; everyone also felt the urgency not to be left behind."

Thomas Groot - Verwol

"At Verwol, we experience this session as a valuable source of inspiration that encourages us to continue building on personal and collective growth."

Niels Geuchies - DPA Professionals

"Remy took us, in a highly enthusiastic talk, through the global developments in AI. In addition to bizarre examples from the near future, the audience was treated to concrete, current applications in our field—things we would previously have expected only in sci-fi films."

Celine Jansen - Two Birds

"Remy maintained a wonderfully brisk pace, so the attention never wavered. The practical approach was truly top-notch: everyone left inspired and with a concrete plan to integrate AI into their role/company. Thanks as well for the smooth communication!"

Porkarasu Kannadasan - Rabobank

"Remy’s presentation at the Try-A-Thon was clear, inspiring, and full of great insights. He simply explained complex topics, kept the audience engaged, and brought great energy to the session. It left the audience motivated to put the ideas into action. Definitely a highlight of the event."

Margareth de Wit - Academia Group

"Many thanks to Rémy Gieling for his brilliant contribution at the Concertgebouw, where he took us on a whirlwind presentation about developments in AI and their impact on our daily lives as professionals."

Miriam Hoekstra - Concentrix

"Remy is an all-round expert in AI, which was clearly evident in his inspiring keynote at our annual event. He knows how to take you through the latest developments in a smooth and engaging way. The collaboration beforehand was also excellent. Thank you!"

Ryanne van Dalen - Board, Legal Affairs and Communication (BJC)

"We are very pleased with Remy’s presentation, and I also received very positive feedback from several participants. It really helped us—and thus our organization—to bring the world of AI from the outside in. What is happening around us, and how quickly is it moving? It was also a very good warm-up for the remainder of our day, where we delved deeper into what we are already doing regarding AI at the RDI."
