Andrew Keen is one of the world’s most provocative and renowned commentators on the digital revolution, widely recognised for his prescient critiques of the modern internet and its profound implications for business, culture, and society. As an acclaimed author, broadcaster, and strategic advisor, he provides C-suite executives and global leaders with an unvarnished, highly analytical perspective on the intersection of technology, democracy, and the future of human enterprise.
Often referred to as the “Antichrist of Silicon Valley,” Keen has consistently challenged the utopian narratives surrounding Web 2.0, artificial intelligence, and decentralised technologies. His internationally best-selling books, including The Cult of the Amateur, Digital Vertigo, The Internet Is Not the Answer, and How to Fix the Future, serve as essential frameworks for understanding the hidden costs of the digital age. In his proprietary research and advisory work, Keen outlines a strategic blueprint for global leaders, advocating for a human-centric approach to innovation that balances technological advancement with robust ethical standards, regulatory compliance, and corporate accountability.
In addition to his extensive literary and academic achievements, Keen hosts the highly influential Keen On podcast, where he interviews leading thinkers, founders, and policymakers shaping the modern world. He is the mastermind behind the acclaimed documentary series How to Fix Democracy and acts as an executive director at the innovation hub CALinnovates. Keen frequently advises multinational corporations, tech startups, and governmental bodies on navigating the complex ethical, economic, and operational landscapes of AI, Web3, and digital transformation. His insights empower organisations to anticipate regulatory shifts, protect their brand integrity, and build sustainable, future-proof digital strategies.
"Dear Mr. Keen, On behalf of the Organizing team, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your very active participation in the XVII Eurasian Media Forum. The main objective of the Eurasian Media Forum, which unites representatives of different countries, professions, and opinions, is an open dialogue and a search for a compromise solution. It was an honor and pleasure to have you here as a speaker sharing your thoughts on complicated topics and taking part in panel discussions. This year Forum is very special to us. After a one-year break due to the pandemic, we were delighted to be finally able to hold this event. There were many topics to discuss since the events we have all witnessed ever the past year were exceptional in their scale and impact on the fate of millions of people. By being forced to distance ourselves from one another over this period, we have been reminded of the importance of human interaction and meetings like this. Please let me thank you once more for the special impetus you gave to the discussion and making the XVII Eurasian Media Forum happen." Sincerely, Alma Akhmetzhanova Director-General
"The Silicon Valley success stories have created much hype and euphoria around digital technology. Hence it is important to hear critical voices with alternative perspectives. Andrew Keen is a refreshing "competent rebel" with roots not only in Silicon Valley but also in a profound liberal arts education."
"Andrew Keen is not only one of the world’s most influential thinkers about the social and economic impact of digital technology, but he’s also one of its most articulate and passionate public speakers. His speeches at DLD have always been delightfully smart, humorous and provocative and we look forward to collaborating with him again in the future.”
"Andrew Keen is one of the most fascinating speakers I had during my 7 year tenure as master curator of Innotribe at Sibos. I have seen him perform at other prime events like Techonomy and The Drucker Forum. As a true contrarian, he debunks myths and beliefs about the Internet and technology hypes, challenges conventional thinking, and brings back the conversation to universal values of humanity. His delivery is passionate, deeply researched, and illustrated with poignant visuals and metaphors. His stage energy is contagious.”
“Andrew is a no nonsense, crap cutting provocateur. As a speaker, he offers whip smart, no-shit insights into what technology might actually mean.”
"Having Andrew Keen speak is like launching a very knowledgeable exocet missile into the middle of the conversation, the convention and the room - in a good way. No-one is as laser-guided as he is and it always makes for excitement."
