Speaking on “AI & Us: Events, Design & Experience” with Impact XM, one thing I touched on was how AI can enhance events:

By combining personalisation with natural language prompts, we can turn event apps from static systems into an on-demand, centralised, proactive, and hyper-personalised SERVICE.

For instance, I can say to an event app:

📍”List all the exhibitors that specialise in GEO and pin their booth locations to my map”
☕️ “Contact the most senior person attending this event from my perspective client’s company, and ask if I can buy them a coffee on Wednesday afternoon”
♻️ “Add any talks on Sustainability to my calendar and send me notifications 15 minutes before they start”

Why this is so important is because it lets people spend more time GAINING VALUE from your event and less time trying to figure out where to go and what to do.

Futurist Amelia delivered the opening keynote at Birmingham Tech Week’s Frontier’s Day, presented by Birmingham Open Media. In this short clip, Amelia describes the crossroads we face—how AI can lock us into closed systems, or set us free so that the algorithms work FOR us, not against us. Plus, she highlights one company offering a possible solution to the copyright crisis that is AI, Echora AI.

If I was going to try to sum up a main message in my keynotes this year, it would be that the choices we make today around AI really matter, and will have lasting implications.

In this short clip from an interview I did following a recent keynote at #Recomm25 on “Life in the Future: Changing Technologies, Buildings, Lifespan, & Mindsets,” I challenge the language we use around this technology—something we should all consider when talking about AI with our fellow humans, and the next generation.

In Aruba, I had the incredible experience to speak to Aruba Bank N.V. and Orco Bank on “Reimagining Work with AI” in an IMAX theatre! It was also steamed across the Caribbean to Curaçao, Bonaire, and Sint Maarten. 🤩 🏝🎤

From easy AI wins that provide advantages today, to building a foundation of trust that will serve us well in the future—it was a true honour to share my latest research and insights with this lovely group of people in such a beautiful place!

“Truly inspiring… Your insights and engaging delivery made a lasting impact on everyone who attended.”

“Her dynamic and thought-provoking session explored how AI is transforming industries worldwide, the opportunities it presents… and how employees can take a leading role in driving positive change. Kallman’s insights inspired employees to think creatively, question assumptions, and envision how AI can elevate customer experiences and strengthen internal operations. She emphasized the importance of human-centered innovation, using AI to empower people while preserving the essential role of human judgment and creativity.”

“Inspired our team to think boldly about the future and how AI can elevate customer service.”

“It was a true pleasure getting to know you and witnessing your passion and vision firsthand.”
