A talk about AI, with the work on screen.
I show what I actually built this month, what it cost, and what went wrong. No slide about the future of work.
Most AI talks leave a room impressed and unchanged
The circuit runs on the same three slides: an exponential curve, a list of jobs at risk, and a call to be brave. People nod, nobody changes what they do on Monday, and the organisation is exactly where it was. I do the opposite. I open a real system on screen, one I built for a real company, and walk the room through the parts that worked, the parts that had to be thrown away, and what the whole thing cost. It is less dramatic and it survives the drive home.
How I prepare
A 30-minute call with you before the date, so the examples come from the audience's own industry and the talk lands on the decision your organisation is actually facing. I ask for one thing in return: the honest version of what is going on internally, including the resistance. The talk is Danish or English, and the Q and A always runs longer than planned, which is the point. If you record it, I sign off on the cut before it goes out.
Formats
- 01Conference keynote, 30 to 60 minutes
The main-stage version. A real system on screen, three things that transfer to any company in the room, and a Q and A.
- 02Leadership session, 90 minutes
For a management team or a board. Less demo, more decision: where AI belongs in your business, what it costs, and what to say no to.
- 03All-hands or staff meeting, 45 minutes
Written for the people who are quietly worried about their jobs. Honest about what changes and what does not. This is the one people book twice.
- 04Half day: talk plus hands-on
The talk in the morning, then the room works on their own tasks with Claude open. The bridge between a talk and the workshop.
- 05Panel and moderation
Panels, fireside chats, podcast and press. I will push back on a bad question rather than let it stand.
What I speak about
- What a year of building Claude systems for Nordic companies actually taught me, numbers included.
- Agents at the front door: what happens when software qualifies your leads and tells some of them no.
- The four habits that separate a team that uses AI well from a team that has licences.
- The EU AI Act for people who have to run a business while it applies to them.
- Where AI is the wrong answer, and how to tell before you spend.
When this is right
A fit when
- You want the room to leave with something they can do, not something they should feel.
- The audience is business people. Owners, leaders, sales, operations.
- You can give me 30 minutes beforehand to tailor it.
Probably not when
- You want a technical deep dive for engineers. I build with Claude, I do not do research talks.
- You need a vendor-neutral overview of the market. I am a Claude specialist and I say so on stage.
- The brief is a motivational keynote. There is no curve slide and no call to be brave.
Does this fit you? Seven taps, an honest answer.

Fee
On request, because the number depends on the format, the length, how far I travel and whether it is recorded and reused. Tell me the date and the audience and you get the fee in the same reply, no proposal process. Travel outside Greater Copenhagen is billed separately at cost. Non-profits, schools and community events get a different number, so ask.

FAQ
What does it cost to book an AI speaker in Denmark?
It depends on format and length, so Brinvik quotes a fee per booking rather than publishing a rate card. A 45-minute keynote, a 90-minute leadership session and a half day with hands-on work are three different numbers, and travel outside Greater Copenhagen is billed at cost on top. Send the date, the audience and the format, and the fee comes back in the same reply.
Both, at the same standard. Danish is my first language. If the room is mixed, I do the talk in English and take questions in whichever language they come in.
Yes, included, as long as I see the cut before it goes out. External publication and paid promotion are a separate conversation, not a separate invoice by default.
Only if you ask me to and sign off on the slide. Otherwise I use my own work and anonymise the client.
Usually four to eight weeks. Short notice is worth asking about anyway, since a cancellation is more common than a free calendar.
No. A talk changes what a room thinks. The workshop changes what a team does, over four weeks, with their own work in front of them. A talk is often how a workshop gets approved.
