Andreas Ekström
Speaker of the Year Sweden 2019, Journalist, Thought LeaderTopic
The Power of & – exploring a world where everything has changed, but nothing is different
About Andreas Ekström
My name is Andreas Ekström, and I am a journalist and an author, but most of all a keynote speaker working all around the world. I recently won the Swedish ”Speaker of the Year” award.
My passion is to educate for digital equality. I want to see a world in which we share the wealth – not only financially, but also in terms of knowledge and power. I am an author of seven books, a columnist and a commentator, and I often lecture and lead seminars, mostly on the digital revolution.
During the past few years, I have been a keynote speaker at conferences all over Europe and the rest of the world, approaching 30 countries, and I often serve as a digital thought partner for groups of leaders and boards of directors, trying to make use of ideas and knowledge I have collected over the past decade. Sessions like that are always tailor made, and thoroughly prepared with each client. I was a TEDx speaker in 2013 and again in 2015. That second time, the talk was distributed through ”big” TED, and has to date been viewed well over a million times.

Pia Tandrup
Country Director Meta Denmark
Topic
AR/VR: New dimensions of Connection
If this past year has taught us anything, it’s that humans crave connection - not only with family, friends and coworkers, but also with the businesses, brands, and outlets they interacted with in the “real-world.” While this notion of connection was expressly and deeply challenged due to the pandemic, social media and video enabled people to find a shared sense of presence despite lockdowns worldwide. AR and VR play a pivotal role in helping people to feel present and have emerged as new media that is truly people-centric. With global spending on AR and VR predicted to reach $160B by 2023, we are witnessing a shift in how people will connect in the future.
What becomes possible when technology fades into the background? We get to live eyes up. We get to defy distance on a daily basis. We get to be more present with the people who matter to us – even if they're oceans away. The metaverse are poised to deliver these magical possibilities and take connection to new heights.
About the speaker:
As Country Director, Pia Tandrup is in charge of Meta’s advertising business in Denmark. Her team works with Danish advertisers to help them optimize and succeed with their marketing investments on Meta's family of apps – both locally and in export markets.
Pia comes with a long experience from the advertising industry, most recently as CEO for Ogilvy Denmark and has a great understanding and passion for how creativity, consumer insights and right targeting can make the difference and create strong business results.

Petter Anker Stordalen
Chairman of the board Nordic Choice HotelsPetter Anker Stordalen (born November 29th 1962 in Porsgrunn, Norway) is a Norwegian investor, hotel owner, property developer and environmentalist. Stordalen is a self-made businessman who started out selling strawberries for his merchant father as a child. A particular moment from this period became defining for the Porsgrunn native’s future business ventures. Stordalen remembers complaining to his father that his strawberries were smaller and greener than the other vendors’. His father replied that: “You have to sell the berries you have, because they are the only berries you can sell.” This lesson, dubbed the Strawberry Philosophy, became a metaphor for making the most out of what you have, and is frequently used by Stordalen in explaining his success. While being an active philanthropist, Stordalen is first and foremost an active advocate for conducting sustainable business. Calling himself a sustainability capitalist, he believes the ultimate route to success is corporate models where people, planet and profit are equally important. In his own words, “There is no business on a dead planet. Social responsibility and business success are inextricably linked.” Stordalen is the CEO and owner of investment holding company Strawberry and Chairman of the Board of one of Scandinavia’s largest hotel chain, Nordic Choice Hotels.

The ultimate commodity and how to make it interesting
Access to power and energy is not something we talk about. It’s
something we have. It’s low-interest products we take for granted. So, how do
you make individuals care about a commodity they buy everyday without even
noticing? And even more important, how do you make individuals take
responsibility for their energy consumption and drive behavior change for
protection of the climate?
Get the story on how SEAS-NVE, has driven actual behavior change by putting
energy consumption and climate consciousness on the agenda through a
user-centric digital transformation, while increasing customer satisfaction and
