March 2026 | Oslo, Norway (AI Keynote Speaker)
Thomas Anglero has been selected by EY Norway to deliver a one-hour keynote presentation to 400 of their business consultants on the topic of AI as a Force Multiplier, exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, strategy, and competitive advantage across industries.
The session, designed to inspire and equip EY’s consulting teams for the future of work, goes beyond conventional keynote presentations. Thomas will conduct a live AI coding demonstration on stage, building a real-world business case for Norwegian energy company Vår Energi in real time, showing the audience exactly how AI transforms strategic thinking into executable outcomes.
This live-build approach reflects Thomas Anglero’s distinctive keynote methodology: making AI tangible, practical, and immediately applicable for business leaders and their teams.

What Makes Thomas Anglero Different from Other AI Keynote Speakers
Many keynote speakers talk about AI. Thomas Anglero builds with AI, live, on stage, in front of the audience.
His keynote presentations are known for combining three elements that are rarely found in a single speaker:
Executive credibility. With C-suite and senior technology leadership roles at global companies including IBM and Cognizant, Thomas speaks the language of boards, CEOs, and enterprise leadership teams. He understands the strategic decisions, organisational dynamics, and transformation challenges that executives face, because he has led them himself.
Technical hands-on capability. Thomas does not rely on slides to explain AI. He demonstrates AI by building solutions in real time during his presentations. His live coding demonstrations, such as the Vår Energi business case being built on stage at EY Norway, give audiences a concrete, memorable experience of AI’s capabilities that no slide deck can replicate.
Global perspective with Nordic precision. Having keynoted on every major continent and advised organisations from Fortune 500 companies to European governments, Thomas brings a global strategic lens combined with the clarity, directness, and trust-based communication style that Scandinavian and international audiences value.
