Brett King Keynote Topics
What are the biggest disruptions to society emerging over the coming decades, and how might we adapt? In this sweeping keynote, Brett King maps the converging forces of artificial intelligence, health tech and gene therapy, smart infrastructure, climate change, food scarcity, and mass displacement. He explores how these forces interact to create both existential risk and unprecedented opportunity, and what leaders, organizations, and policymakers need to understand to shape a future that works for more people. This keynote draws on King’s decades of advisory work with governments and Fortune 500 boards to deliver practical frameworks, not just forecasts.
In a forward-looking exploration of banking in the coming decades, Brett King examines how AI-driven financial institutions will operate, what the consumer experience will look like, how quantum computing will upend banking security, and why most traditional banks will struggle to make the transition. Drawing on research from his bestselling Bank series and advisory work with central banks across 18 countries, King provides senior financial services audiences with a roadmap for navigating the shift from incremental digitization to fully algorithmic banking — and the strategic decisions that will separate the survivors from the obsolete.
AI disruption, techno-unemployment, rising inequality, declining birth rates, and the accelerating impact of climate change are converging to reshape the world order. Drawing from his bestselling book The Rise of Technosocialism, Brett King explores how politics, economics, and social cohesion may be fundamentally upended. This keynote is designed for leaders who need to think beyond quarterly cycles and engage with the macro forces that will define the next generation of opportunity, risk, and governance. King offers a provocation and a framework: what organizing principles should guide society through the most disruptive era in human history?
From King’s latest book Branch Tomorrow, this keynote presents groundbreaking research showing that global bank branch populations peaked and have been in decline ever since, that the world’s largest fintechs already serve more people than traditional banks, and that mobile wallets now see twice the daily usage of plastic cards. King walks audiences through the data that proves digital-first is no longer a strategy — it is the baseline for survival. He examines what this means for workforce planning, real estate, customer experience, and competitive positioning — and why the only branches with a future are those redesigned to serve the digital ecosystem, not compete against it.
