Speaking Engagements

Acoustic through Founder and Principal, Erik Ingvoldstad, brings the same thinking that drives its consultancy work to stages, panels, and workshops around the world. The topics that generate the most conversation right now are innovation strategy and AI-augmented development, but the underlying questions have stayed consistent across a decade of work: how do organisations stay genuinely close to their customers, and how do people build things that actually work?

These are not abstract questions. They come from real engagements, real failures, and a considered point of view developed over eleven years of building products, advising organisations, and watching technology transitions play out. That experience is what makes the presentations worth attending.

What to expect

Our speaking engagements are prepared for the specific audience and occasion. Whether that is a keynote for a technology conference, a panel on human-centred innovation, a workshop for a leadership team, or a fireside conversation about the future of building digital products, the format adapts. The point of view does not.

Presentations are known for being direct, visually considered, and grounded in practice rather than theory. No filler slides. No generic frameworks recycled from last year's conference circuit.

Topics

Recent engagements have covered innovation strategy, middle-out innovation, AI augmentation and what it actually means for teams building products, human-centred design in practice, and the future of digital development for organisations that are not large enough to have a dedicated technology division but are serious enough to need one.

Where

Erik has presented at events across Asia, Australia, the United States, Scandinavia, and Europe. Remote and in-person engagements are both available.
