We'll also look at how AI can enable thought leadership without losing the authenticity that makes it valuable.Whether you’re already sharing your company’s expertise or wondering where to start, you’ll leave with fresh ideas you can put into practice.Program12:00 – 12:30 | Walk-in and lunch12:30 – 12:45 | Welcome by High Tech Campus Eindhoven12:45 – 13:30 | Workshop by CURGOALTopic 1: What is thought leadership? | 12:45 – 13:05Why it matters now more than ever, including GEOWhat thought leadership brings and how it can drive growthThe importance of trust and authenticity in marketing and salesHow AI can enable thought leadershipTopic 2: How to do thought leadership well | 13:05 – 13:30Start with why: why thought leadership, and what do you want to achieve?Develop your unique POV: creating a clear and ownable narrativeGetting the engine started: how to build engagement and consistencyInspiring examples of thought leadership in practice13:30 – 14:30 | Drinks, networking & meet the CURGOAL expert teamAbout the speakersChantalle Janclaes is the owner and Chief Growth Officer of CURGOAL, a full-service digital marketing agency based at High Tech Campus Eindhoven and Brightlands Chemelot Campus.Ellis Brouns is an experienced B2B marketing leader, helping science-driven companies turn complex technical strengths into clear customer value, focused go-to-market strategies and profitable growth.Deanne Beattie is a brand messaging and thought leadership consultant, working with B2B clients to shape their narrative and increase impact.Together, the facilitators work with leaders and founders in science and technology companies to develop their thought leadership and build market influence.
