Enquiries

Most people ask
about keynotes.
Not everyone does.

Some ask about advisory work or a seat on a board. Some want a research collaboration, an article written, a course built. Some arrive with a request that fits no category at all, and those are often the good ones.

Bookings run through SpeakersNet in Stockholm, who handle dates, fees and contracts. Everything else finds its way to Alf.
