Looking for a Keynote that will engage every single person in the room? You are looking for Nikolas Badminton! I have been responsible for speakers at education conferences for many years. Too often educators hear from presenters within a very limited area of focus. Nikolas's connections are fresh and applicable to every area of education from the finances and the buildings to the students in Kindergarten to grade 12

2030
The Future of Transportation and Logistics
What does the world look like in 2030? What are the tipping points that will disrupt the transportation industry? What will likely be successful and widely adopted? How will sectors and companies adapt and who will be left behind? These are some of the core questions Nikolas will grapple with in this context-setting presentation.
Agriculture 3.0
A brave new world
New ways of sustainable and innovative agricultural practices have never been needed more than they are today. In addition to farmers aiming to grow more crops, raise more livestock, and diversify we have big tech entering the game with billions of dollars of investment. The result? DIVERSITY and DISRUPTION! Nikolas will look at where we are today, the signals of change he sees, and the innovations that will change the world. We will see a world where there will be exponential farming in the lab, field and beyond.
The Impact of Big Data, Social Media, and Privacy on Society
The Internet surrounds us, binds us together as a society, and helps us with almost all aspects of our lives. Everything seems to be in its place and useful. But, in 2019 the world is changing. Social media is both the amplifier and controller of our emotions as we go about our daily lives. Algorithms optimize every aspect of lives, and ubiquitous connections across billions of devices capture our every move. Nikolas will help you look deeper into this new world and realize how the normal function of childhood, family and community is being altered and manipulated for profit. And, with our full permission.
Smart Cities, Smarter Citizens
Over 1000 smart city pilot projects are in progress today and with this comes the implementation and rollout of renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro), self-driving vehicles (autonomous truck fleets, municipal transport, on-demand taxis, and personal vehicles), electric vehicles, the internet of things, with Big Data and Data Science at the heart of operations. Nikolas will look at how city planning is changing along with the core technologies being deployed and will profile the global cities that are embracing this approach.
