Nikolas Badminton Speaking Testimonials

Nikolas Badminton is not just an incredible presenter. He grabs the audience’s attention and doesn’t let go. So many of our partners told us they had never examined the future of their business in such a thought-provoking way – to expose our partners to something new is the highest value we can provide to our partners. Nikolas Badminton brought that value.

Nikolas Badminton gave a high-energy and stimulating romp through some frontiers of the future, in parts eye-opening, confusing, motivating, and disturbing. The intention was to lift our group of health professionals out of their normal day-to-day perspective and offer a glimpse of different worlds, ones that may or may not come to pass. The point was to help us see differently and think differently. Judging by the conversation afterwards, Nikolas Badminton definitely succeeded. The ‘end-of-life care robot’ was a particular talking point!

Opening keynotes that engage an audience and leave them wanting to hear more is challenging. At our 2018 AutoTech Symposium, we struck gold with futurist Nikolas Badminton. Participants were referring to Nik’s presentation throughout the event and in the days following. Our organizing committee was equally impressed with the quality of custom content, ease of delivery and unprompted ‘only positive’ feedback from attendees. Highly recommended.
