Before the event

  • Who's in the room?Tell us who's coming: how many people, which sector, and what's keeping them up at night. The more we know, the harder the keynote hits home.
  • Tech checkThe evening before or the morning of the event.
  • The introductionPlease keep it short. A few sentences are enough to let the keynote speak for itself and keep your audience on their toes.
  • LanguageEnglish or Dutch. Please confirm at booking.

The green jacket?
It's part of the show.

Bios

Short bioFor tight programmes

Robin Dhondt is an advertising consultant who hates advertising, and the speaker behind Totally Flawesome.

Medium bioFor standard event communication

Robin Dhondt spent 25 years helping brands look better than they really were, until he realized that the brands we trust most are the ones that show us who they really are. In his keynotes and Co‑Labs, he shows brands and leaders how to earn their authenticity instead of claiming it. He speaks in English and Dutch, on stages from Ghent to Chennai.

Long bioFor programmes and marketing

For over 25 years, Robin Dhondt worked as a copywriter and creative consultant in advertising. He won pitches, he won awards, and the whole time he felt like a fraud. Until he realized that imperfection makes brands human, and that humans connect with humans, not logos. His keynote “Totally Flawesome: 9,5 ways to be perfectly imperfect as a brand” shows audiences how to turn their flaws into their strongest asset. Robin speaks in English and Dutch, live or online, for audiences from 15 to 600. He lives on a 300‑year‑old farm near Ghent, where he runs Boereau, a perfectly imperfect conference barn, together with his wife. And yes, he always wears that green leather jacket.
