- ▸ Repetitive reports & data entry
→ Let the machines do this
Meaning Work
- ✦ Leadership & strategic thinking
- ✦ Creativity & mentoring

From the Stage
Signature keynote: Humanity Amplified
“Humanity Amplified: Redefining Success in the Age of AI”
Most AI talks focus on speed and automation. This one asks a more important question: what should AI do so humans can do what matters most? Dan draws the line between Machine Work and Meaning Work, giving audiences a clear, practical roadmap to reclaim 10-40 hours per week — and a framework for making sure those hours go toward the life they actually want.
