  • The social impact of technology & innovation
    From the printing press to the moon landing, humankind moved comparatively slowly over the past 600 years when it comes to innovation. But in the 21st Century, the accelerating growth of technology is now at break-neck speed! From computing and the Internet to artificial intelligence and metaverses, it is literally unfathomable just how much technology has changed, and how it’s impacting our lives.
    Kristofer is uniquely placed to unpack this innovation and bring to life the very real and positive impact technology has delivered, together with the very real social challenges it has created. Areas covered include:
    • The speed of innovation, a unique timeline.
    • Amazing social outcomes such as better financial inclusion (tailored to your audience).
    • The existential (no longer abstract) threat of technology to society.
    • Case studies highlighting incredible technical achievements.
    • Technology trends specific to your industry or sector.

    Financial Technology – or FinTech - has literally revolutionised the way in which customers interact with their financial providers and opened up the banking sector to digital disruption.

Testimonials for Kristofer Rogers

I have had the fortune to work with Kristofer starting from 2022 on a patient-led, industry-supported regional patient engagement platform, Alliance and Partnerships for Patient Innovation and Solutions, or APPIS. A reputable patient organization leader shared with me Kris’ contact info, and the moment I spoke to him, I knew he would be a great speaker/influencer. In fact, his expertise and experience on sustainable fundraising really inspired the audience, with clear takeaways and action items to follow through. I would recommend anyone who would like to learn about this topic to get in touch. By the way, his presentation slides are out of this world!”

I have known Kris since 2018 when he was our speaker for Rising Sun, a Chronic Myeloid Leukemia event for Patient Advocacy Groups in Asia. Lately, we engaged him for the Alliance & Partnerships for Patient Innovation and Solutions (APPIS) virtual event in 2023. He is a subject matter expert for digital fundraising and also as an influencer as far as focused-advocacy is concerned. He uses memory-recall representation to push his message across. He is a very effective speaker in terms of explicitly interacting with his audience.

Thank you for the very enlightening speech on fundraising. It blew my mind, not only because of the quality of the content, but also by your delivery. I felt that you were concerned about whether your message was getting through, rather than just getting through the session. It is not often that a speaker comes across so clearly and with such generosity.
