"Two words: mind blowing. For our digital learning festival at KPMG the Netherlands we had the pleasure to host Nikola Danaylov. What happens when you listen to Nikola is that your mind starts racing. He shares insights, patterns and ways of thinking that you’d never have thought about. His talk on Tech & Ethics really inspired us, provoked us and invited each and every one of us to look in to the mirror and start asking critical questions about our own behavior and way of thinking."

Jorieke Markerink

He captured the participants’ attention with his wonderful and clear communication style, and the references/examples he listed throughout the presentation helped drive his points home very effectively. Nikola’s pleasant personality and vast knowledge and experience in the field of futurism, made him an ideal and relevant speaker for our session."

"It’s not every day one encounters a speaker who leaves such a remarkable and unshakable impression on a room of skeptics, visionaries, and discerning minds alike. When Nikola Danaylov took the stage for my organization, The JRT Agency, its affiliates, clients, and friends, he did not merely deliver a keynote; he commandeered a deeply contemplative journey that swept through an audience ranging from CEOs and CMOs to creative executives, entrepreneurs, and politicians. The collective response was nothing short of phenomenal, marked by spontaneous applause, animated discussion, and a day-after deluge of requests for the talk’s recording. As one friend candidly admitted, it might well have..."
