WEBINARS

Hire me for a webinar about human augmentation, transhumanism, or the impact of technology.

Next to giving lectures on stage, I share my knowledge and insights through webinars and digital sessions. You can think of online keynotes, webinars, livestreams with a Q&A element or interactive sessions.

My areas of expertise include biohacking, human augmentation, transhumanism and the impact of technology on our lives. I always provide a tailor-made session, to make sure that your organization really benefits from my contribution.

TOPICS

I give webinars and virtual keynotes about the following topics. Please contact me to discuss your specific wishes and demands.

Human Augmentation

The Superman, Human 2.0, Homo Deus, Cyborgs, human enhancement or augmentation, all different names for improving people with the help of technology. What is human augmentation and what are relevant developments? Think of gadgets, wearables and implanted chips to experiment with biotechnology (also called biohacking), connecting the brain to a computer, and genetically adapting our DNA.

What advantages and disadvantages does this have? And what impact does this have on us as people, companies and society?

Previous clients: MIT Sloan Polska, University of Twente, and T-Mobile the Netherlands

Transhumanism

Transhumanism is a philosophical movement that reasons from scientific and technological progress. With that progress, we as humans are able to break through our biological boundaries. Think of mind uploading, immortality, super intelligence and colonizing space. What will humanity look like in a few decades or centuries?

In my webinars, I give an overview of the most important developments, possibilities and challenges of transhumanism. My approach is partly philosophical and partly practical, with many concrete examples and interaction with the public.

Previous clients: Team Hart, University of Eindhoven, and the Brave New World Conference

Impact & Ethics

In this webinar, I discuss the influence of technological innovation. How does technology shape us as humans, our organizations and society as a whole? But also the other way around: how do our values, preferences, opinions and institutional forces influence the development of technology? What are negative effects, such as fake news and the climate crisis? At what levels do technological progress affect?

Which ethical dilemmas, within which framework can we think about them, and how do we fill in the social debate? What does this mean for educational institutions, public organizations and government institutions?

PRACTICAL

Themes

My areas of expertise include biohacking, human augmentation and the impact of technology on our lives. I always offer a customized webinar, so that your organization really benefits from my contribution.

In my online sessions, I provide an overview of the most important developments, opportunities, challenges and ethical dilemmas. My approach is pragmatic, with lots of concrete examples and interaction with the participants.

For whom?

Webinar sessions could be valuable for your own employees, for (potential) customers or as an online event for external parties. These are some examples:

  • gave an online keynote on the future of healthcare for employees of a major Dutch retailer;
  • conducted a webinar on genetic modification for members of a health insurance company’s innovation lab;
  • organized a session on Instagram Live about biohacking for Tetem Art Space;
  • participated in an interactive session on human enhancement for Future Based, a platform for ethics and philosophy.
  • gave a talk about human augmentation for the conference Brave New World;
  • gave a talk about superhumans for the conference Biohackers Assemble.

My digital sessions have a pragmatic approach. I always give many concrete examples based on recent developments, stimulate the audience’s imagination with science fiction, and share personal anecdotes from my experiences as a biohacker. Interaction with the audience is very important to me, and there are questions and quizzes throughout the session. The duration of a webinar is generally between 30 and 45 minutes.

Method

The preparation consists of an intake and going through my concept presentation together. Afterwards, I plan an online meeting with the client to evaluate the webinar.

Technical aspects

I prefer to work with Zoom, but I can also use other webinar tools (such as Microsoft Teams, Instagram Live and Jitsi Meet). I think the most important thing is to look for interaction with the participants. I have experience with various online working methods, from putting forward propositions, a Q&A and break-out rooms. I present myself from a quiet room with a good internet connection and a high-quality microphone.

Virtual reality

You can also book me for a keynote in VR. My agency is Beemup.

This is a sheet with my speaking fees. The price depends on duration, preparation, location, and additional wishes. Please contact me for the possibilities.

Expertise

As a biohacker, I have been doing all kinds of experiments with wearables, gadgets and other new technology for years.  In addition, I draw on my knowledge of 100+ interviews for my podcast and YouTube channel with leading scientists, philosophers and experts in the fields of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, genetics, human enhancement, and much more.

I continuously keep up to date with the latest developments by reading professional literature, the latest news and relevant books on these themes. I also write articles on this website and in 2020 I wrote the books Future Humans: the impact of biohacking and Supermens (in Dutch) at Bot Uitgevers.

A complete webinar about biohacking with a lot of insights for businesses. Essential knowledge for business owners, managers and innovation experts.

Ewa Majchrzak , MIT Sloan Management Review (Poland)

If you want to understand the impact of technology on our bodies and our health his insights are essential! Peter has deep first-hand knowledge about the the impact of biohacking and personal health technologies. Highly recommended!

Maarten den Braber, Nexthealth (the Netherlands)

The future of business is not only in IT and is not only digital. Peter’s webinar provides knowhow of astounding technologies that will impact not only humans, but also commercial organizations!

Martin Sharp, Astute Consulting (United Kingdom)

The webinar provides insights into the possible ramifications of biohacking and biotechnology on societies and government structures. If you need scenarios to strategize on these developments, these insights are a must.
