The outside perspective your industry conference needs

Talent, leadership and people tracks at industry conferences

Many industry conferences now have a pillar on talent and leadership next to technology and operations. That slot needs a speaker from outside the industry who can open a broader conversation about leadership, change and human behaviour, and still make it land for highly specialised, multicultural teams under constant operational pressure.

What organisers need

Specialised industries, human questions

Every industry thinks its people challenges are unique, and every industry shares the same ones: specialised teams that struggle to work across domains, new generations with different expectations, new technology that people quietly resist, and leaders promoted for expertise who now have to lead. Dorka's keynotes take these questions from neuroscience and organisational behaviour and bring them to the industry in the room.

Her signature idea fits specialised industries especially well: the end of the specialist era. Depth used to be the career strategy; now AI supplies the depth, and the leaders who last are the ones who connect domains they don't fully own. The industry examples come from the stakeholder call before the event, so the keynote speaks your sector's language.

"She spent maybe 15 minutes methodically taking apart every culture transformation framework I've used for the last seven years. I was in the front row. It was uncomfortable in an extremely useful way. What I didn't expect was to leave with three actual, concrete things I could do on Monday."

FAQ

Questions organisers ask

Dorka is not from our industry. Is that a problem?

That is usually the point: the talent and leadership slot is where an outside perspective works best. The industry examples come from the stakeholder call before the event.

We have a limited keynote budget. Should we still ask?

Yes. The fee starts from €3,000 plus travel and accommodation; tell Dorka the date, the location and the budget in the enquiry and you get a straight answer within 48 hours. Non-profit and social impact organisations get reduced conditions.

Can Dorka join a panel in addition to the keynote?

Ask in the enquiry with the programme details. The keynote is the core format; Dorka has also joined panels at events where she spoke, such as HR (R)EVOLUTION and the Portfolio conferences.
