My name is Aaron Mirck, and I am a TEDx speaker on technology. My mission is to make technology understandable for the general public. And to provide insight into the impact of technology on society. I believe that we can become much smarter, kinder, more productive, and happier if we use technology more consciously. I am now a sought-after speaker, delivering lectures across the country.
Lectures
Looking for an inspiring speaker?
Some are afraid of AI because they read frightening reports about it. The other says that if you don’t work with AI today, you will be unemployed or bankrupt tomorrow. But what is the real deal with AI? This lecture is a crash course in AI and ChatGPT and will teach you to distinguish fact from fiction. Find out what the real deal is with artificial intelligence. Keywords: explanation, ethics and humor.
This witty, interactive and playful lecture revolves around modern etiquette. The keynote will end with a quiz (cap on, cap off) after which the winner may call himself the Digital Etiquette Connoisseur and wins ‘Don’t app while eating’, the guide to digital etiquette. Keywords: interaction, humor and awareness.
What makes knowledge workers different in the digital age? Attention. Attention is our superpower. Those who know how to manage their attention are more creative and effective – and suffer less stress and distraction. This lecture combines philosophical insights with practical tips for getting everything out of your work week. Keywords: awareness, inspiration and motivation.

“Een van de hoogtepunten van onze innovatie dag was de AI talk van Aaron, die met zijn humor en inzicht wist te prikkelen en te inspireren. Niet met een doorsnee verhaal over AI, maar juist door AI van alle kanten te belichten.”
Douwe DriehuisHead of Innovation/Sustainability bij ISS
“De bijdrage van Aaron binnen ons AI event was van grote toegevoegde waarde. Dat bleek wel uit de waardering die onze gasten gaven na afloop, namelijk een 8.2. Met name het schetsen van het grotere plaatje van AI en de humoristische wijze waarop Aaron dit overbrengt, was voor ons hetgeen we zochten voor ons totale event.”

Yes, I enjoy engaging with other experts. I find it valuable to contribute to a discussion or exchange of ideas on stage.

If we collaborate more frequently or if it concerns a non-profit organization, a discount is possible.
