SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT SPEAKERSBASE What is Speakersbase? As you can read in the About section, Speakersbase was originally created in 2016 as an open platform to bring speakers and organisers together. There was no commercial objective and we offered our main activities (maintaining your speakers profile) as a free, no-commitment service to the public. In 2020 we decided to change this model drastically. Our ambition is to offer and commercially represent #virtualspeakers and hosts . These are people that we officially represent as a commercial booking agency. Why am I not on the list of current speakers? The current speakers are handpicked #virtualspeakers and hosts that we commercially represent as a booking agency for virtual events. If you are not on the list, it means that we do not have a deal to sell your services to our clients. As you will see, only a small group of people is represented so far. This list will grow in the near future with new speakers, yet we will always limit this to the amount of #virtualspeakers that we believe we can represent in a qualitative way. Can I become an active speaker or host? You can indeed apply to become one of our #virtualspeakers so that we can commercially represent you. Please bear in mind that this might take time: it is a manual process of selecting the best speakers we believe cover topics we want to offer to our clients. I have issues signing in to my old page, what's wrong? We are aware that the migration to the new domain caused some problems for a small group of users. Most of these issues should be fixed by now. If you still encounter problems, please let us know.​ Where are all the old speakers and their pages? Because of our new business model, the website now only shows the speakers that we offer to the market. This means that your speakerspage is no longer available through the main website. For now, the pages are still available on https://speakersbase.info although the plan is to eventually switch them off during summer. This should give you time to grab possible assets from your page and store them elsewhere. I want to keep on using my speakerspage, is that possible? For the time being your old speakerspage is still available on Speakersbase.info but we plan to eventually turn the pages off, as this is no longer our core business and these functionalities will no longer be supported. ​ Is there a chance that my old speakerspage will remain available anyway? We got many positive reactions from speakers that want to keep using their profile pages, even if we don't represent them as #virtualspeakers in the new Speakersbase. They expressed the willingness to pay a small fee for that. We are currently investigating if that is an option. The more interest we feel, the bigger the chance that we will offer a solution for this.​

< back AI in HR: What’s real?! Clarifying 7 misconceptions about HR technology in 2024 More detailed information The pressure on HR and recruitment teams today reaches alarming levels. The ‘race for talent’ is ever-present, and 20% of employees report experiencing work-related fatigue several times a month. Think there's no reason to panic? Think again! Demographic analyses predict that, in the next 15 years, we will face even greater challenges. “AI will solve everything!” proclaim futurists. But is this truly the case, especially in a domain as people-sensitive as HR? This keynote aims to inform C-level executives, HR leaders, and innovation specialists in a clear and transparent manner about the state of HR technology augmentation today. What exactly is AI, and how does it differ from Machine Learning? What are black box AI and explainable AI? What distinguishes decision-making AI from supportive AI? What does the AI Act prohibit, and what does it permit? Addressing seven of the most common misconceptions about AI in the boardroom, this presentation delineates what is factual from what is not. It distinguishes between relevant optimism and naivety, as well as legitimate risk and disproportionate fear. Jochen Roef, a psychologist, former consultant, and current CEO of Traicie, an HR technology augmentation company, often encounters misconceptions about AI in his discussions with C-level executives and security and compliance departments from governments, banks, and corporate organizations. These conversations, which highlight both overly positive and overly negative views on AI, inspired this keynote. The aim is to educate executives in 45 minutes, using easy-to-understand terms and avoiding the exaggeration of both the positives and negatives. Request a quote Submit About Jochen Roef (1979) is former founder of Blinc and current founder/CEO of Traicie.com, both trend-setting companies in their market segment. Jochen is passionate about innovation, HR and entrepreneurship. After obtaining his master's degree in psychology, he entered several commercial and people management positions, which nurtured his fascination for human talent and diversity. He authored 2 books and co-developed the RIO method, a groud-breaking methodology that creates hyperpersonalized human2human experiences. Nowadays, Jochen creates pioneering AI applications that help HR departments worldwide augment and revolutionize recruitment processes.

< back The fascinating dynamic between trust, control, and supervision in the workplace And why trust is the solution More detailed information -- also available in workshop format -- Why do we control our employees? Not because we enjoy it, but often out of fear that if we don't control them, they won't do anything or won't perform optimally. We control because we think it's necessary. Well, no one likes to be controlled. Your employees don't either. And deep down, you know that. But what should you do then? Because, once again, if you don't control them, maybe nothing will happen. The solution lies in "trust." And this is the core of this keynote: If you want to motivate your team without control, ensure that you work on building trust! In this keynote, you will learn how to do that. You will receive a scientific definition of trust that works incredibly well. In other words, a tool that you can immediately put into practice. It enables you to address the challenging and weighty topic of "trust" in a highly discussable manner. You will also receive exercises, tips, and a lot of background information that you can directly apply in your work environment. But should you let go of everything immediately? Absolutely not. It is crucial to continue supervising. If you don't follow up on your people, provide feedback, or address their mistakes, they will eventually think that their work doesn't matter anymore. Whether they arrive on time or not? No one says anything. Submitting a report full of errors? Not a problem, no one will look at it anyway. By not supervising your people, you create the risk of making their work meaningless. In this keynote, you will learn the difference between controlling and supervising and how to increase trust among your people!
