Mondelez – All staff Keynote Presentation – Ten Digital Trends for the Consumer Packaged Goods industry
We engaged Con to present to the wider Mondelez team at our 2018 annual conference, on emerging trends across the digital landscape and how they will impact consumer and shopper behaviour in the future.
Given the industry that Mondelez operates in, this is a subject that has high interest. During an hour-long presentation, Con was able to unpack major key themes and emerging trends in digital, provide live examples of how they are manifesting in today’s day and age and suggest what this means for the future of Mondelez.
This was a highly interactive presentation that conference attendees said was one of the best keynote speakers they had during the conference. Working with Con in the lead-up to the presentation was a very easy process, and with Con’s natural ability to capture the attention of an audience, it was a highly engaging presentation. A great experience!

Con has spoken at a few of the events I have organised over time and I always really enjoy the energy and presence he brings to the occasion.

What I most enjoy about having Con speak is his willingness to hone in on trends and societal factors relating to applications of technology and marketing, even if that can challenge the assumptions of the audience.
With his years of experience and unconventional upbringing, it’s super refreshing to have Con’s relaxed but direct approach showcased for the audience who always learn a lot from his years of experience!
