Marton Hajdu is communications officer at the European Commission. Previously he was a diplomat and spokesperson at Hungary's representation to the EU, and, before that, he worked in the Financial Crisis Task Force and in DG INFSO. Marton is able to bring to life the sometimes bizarre world of the EU through personal stories covering all levels and aspects of EU decision making, from "fonctionnaires" in office cubicles through euro-deputies and Commissioners in the EU corridors of power to Heads of State and Government on the top of the pyramid in the European Council. Marton's academic background in business, economics and government affairs helps him to better understand the needs of people and organisations from outside the "EU-bubble" when it comes to the impact of the EU on their lives.

Prof. dr. Cor Molenaar puts people in the centre of all the changes that are occuring in society and companies. There is no such thing as a technology push. People started to change because of the new technology; the Internet hype proved that people have to accept those techniques and want to change. A changing society, new challenges for companies, internationalisation and an enormous need for commu-nication between people are examples of this change. Application of new techniques like the Internet, cellular phones and new chips (to be read from a distance) are making the changes possible. But what is really happening? What are the chances and threats you will come across as a human being, an entrepreneur or a customer? The tension between sociology, technology and marketing is the field of prof. Molenaar. He is conducting academical research on this matter, but is also advising companies. His book 'eStrategy' (2000) has been translated into six languages. His book 'The impact of the I-culture' was nominated for the title Best Management book 2003. His latest books "The end of shops?" and "Why we prefer a smartphone rather than a car" was [ublished in Dutch and English He is currently professor at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, specialising in e-marketing, supply chain integration and customer shopping behaviour (online and retail) and advices various respectable companies Cor Molenaar is a dynamic speaker, a brilliant strategist, and brings tremendous know-how with his impressive presentations.

Now with a PhD in the psychology of human values and wellbeing, Jackie originally qualified as a behavioural ecology. After her first degree Jackie spent two years helping to reintroduce chimpanzees to the wild in River Gambia National Park. Subsequently her career has meandered through different roles in nature conservation and economic regeneration to the present day and specialising in values and culture - still working with behaviour within a context but the jungle is much more concrete nowadays. As a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute and a member of the CMI Subject Matter Experts Group Jackie champions the part that values play in individual and collective performance and advocate for more consciously values based cultures in workplaces large and small. Values are a golden thread through all types and sizes of organisation. Values are key to understanding the 'why' behind 'what' gets decided and acted upon. Jackie has been working with one of the world’s leading values profiling tools since 2005 employing it with individuals, groups, teams, consortia and partnerships. Frequently values consciousness positively changes working practice and performance and sometimes even literally transform lives. While the theory of values and culture is interesting stuff, it is the everyday stories of real people and how values awareness can create meaning, increasing motivation, that audiences find really fascinating.
