Title: We Don't Need Less Tech. We Need More Joy.
In a world shaped by constant notifications, artificial intelligence, automation, and digital communication, many people are asking the same question: how do we stay meaningfully connected without losing ourselves in the process?
In this thought-provoking and highly interactive keynote, Kassy LaBorie explores how joy, creativity, self-expression, presence, and intentional human connection help us remain fully human and fully expressed in increasingly technological environments.
Blending powerful stories, audience interaction, practical insight, and moments of reflection, this experience challenges audiences to rethink the role of artistry, play, participation, and humanity in the way we communicate, lead, collaborate, and learn.
Because the future does not belong only to Artificial Intelligence. It also belongs to Intentional Humanity.
