Please plan to book 3 months in advance to secure your spot.

How long is a keynote?

Keynote presentations are 45 -60 minutes long.

We offer a combination of trend lecture and hands-on experiences to anchor the learnings and see with your team how trends can be translated.

You are welcome to provide background information of your event, and we can discuss how to tailor a keynote, but please note that we specialize at Eclectic Trends on Interior Design & Lifestyle Trends only.

At what kind of events does Gudy speak?

You can book  a trend lecture for public events like trade shows and design events, in-house events such as company retreats, congresses, and showroom events.

We had Gudy as a guest speaker at the G+J Living Innovation Day – an event for advertising clients and media agencies working with magazines like Schöner Wohnen, Ideat, and our digital platforms.

The feedback we received was overwhelming.

The design and furniture business in Germany tends to be a bit conservative, so Gudy’s insights into the future of design was highly inspiring.
