Speeches, Workshops & Lectures

Yearly Ilco gives several speeches, workshops or lectures, all of them related to social entrepreneurship, experience marketing, event development and/or the themes of his projects. For groups varying from 10 CEOs up to a 1000 attendees, to provide new ideas and inspiration at events, like yearly congresses. 
One of his topics is of course the development of large scale cultural projects or campaigns to inspire people (& companies, cities, media) to get involved in the challenges of their society. How can media, music and positive energy change attitudes? Ilco emphasizes the importance of emotion above facts, involvement above books, experiences above study. He shares loads of practical information and lessons learned during the development of his own well-known events/projects/campaigns. For Ilco the most important goal and consult is almost always: it's all about creating heart connections.
