What Makes Brett’s Keynotes Stand Out
What Audiences Say…
Brett nailed it. He had the afternoon session & his presentation about AI had the attention of the crowd, & his style was highly engaging. The slideshow with embedded videos was incredibly professional but well considered & had the attention of the audience. Highly recommended.
It’s great to hear Brett talk about the future of work & emerging technology. It was fantastic the way he provided context of what’s happening in the world around us.
He speaks in a really funny way, that’s uniquely Australian & give us a real update on how where things are at & where they’re likely to go in the future. He really opens people’s minds. Brett engages people in like unique to the Australian way, like the Australian futurist.
Brett Wiskar’s knowledge in technological leadership and guidance on best practice in innovation, digital platforms and revenue generation is invaluable. As an International Arts event, Brisbane Festival prides itself on being ahead of the curve and Brett’s articulation of what the future holds and how to best be part of that transformative process has been insightful, inspirational and compelling.
I highly recommend taking the time to hear Brett speak about the future of technology and the opportunities it presents.
Brett as a speaker is actually very engaging, quite funny & very insightful as well. It was a pleasure to have him here today. Overall today, Brett really did amazing. He really engaged the audience & it was a very fun session.
Brett stoked the fires of creativity & innovation for our Food Leaders Australia event. His take on value chains, technology & how they can be harnessed to drive the transformation in our sector is always fresh & a wake up call that enterprises should always take heed.
I thought thought Brett was brilliant on a global level. I must have MC-ed a dozen conferences this year mainly in Europe and in terms of the quality of his presentation, I think the thing that really struck me was the the amount of content that he got out within 45 minutes and the erudite insightful way – he was able to present backed up by the slides was world class absolutely 10 out of 10.

Adaptability & Organisational Change
The pace of change has never been faster. New technologies, shifting markets, and evolving workforce expectations are reshaping the business landscape at unprecedented speed. Adaptability — the ability to respond, evolve, and adjust at pace — has become the defining capability of future‑ready organisations.

Innovation, AI, & Emerging Technology
From AI and automation to data, digital transformation, and new business models, emerging technologies are rewriting the rules of competition. Brett Wiskar’s Innovation & Emerging Technology keynotes help organisations understand these shifts and translate them into practical strategies that drive growth, efficiency, and long‑term relevance.
Navigating Uncertainty: How Adaptability Drives Success
The compounding nature of tech driven innovation, a shrinking world, exponential growth in data, mushrooming communication, computational power and tomorrow's businesses being in market today. If you're building your; skills, career, team and business for today's market then are you really ready for tomorrow. The last 30 years has seen more change than the previous 100 years - the last decade has seen more change than the previous two. So what is driving these rate of change?
Mastering Modern Choices: From Uncertainty to Empowerment
Humans are terrible decision makers. Yet we let them keep doing it. They make decisions for our businesses day and and day out with limited success and no indication that they're getting better. So why are we so bad at it? What makes us make decisions the way we do? How do we think and how can we do better? A little understanding of these topics might just help our people improve.
A Faster Future: the New Speed of Change
The worst thing you can do is build today's business for tomorrow. While you were building your business, your skills, your network, and your team the world changed. If at the heart of all those things you didn't have adaptability at the core then you were building the wrong thing. The last 30 years has seen more change than the previous 100 years - the last decade has seen more change than the previous two. What is driving these rate of change? To plan for the future we can't plan based on today we have to understand how change happens and plot our course ahead of the curve.
