TEDx Speaker | The Future CMO
In a World Where Everything Can Be Generated, Trust Cannot.
Joeri Billast brings clarity, credibility, and strategic depth to global stages – from Lisbon to Dubai, and recently TEDxChiado 2026.
As AI makes content faster, cheaper, and infinite, trust becomes the only real competitive advantage. Joeri helps marketing leaders understand why AI has commoditized competence and why the modern CMO must evolve from campaign manager to Chief Value Officer — and ultimately, a trust architect.

Signature Keynote: The Future CMO – Why Trust Is the Only Thing AI Cannot Scale
Only 1 in 4 CMOs feel equipped to use AI strategically.
In this keynote, Joeri explores how AI did not just democratize competence — it commoditized it. The role of the CMO is being redefined: from campaign manager to trust architect, from execution to strategic influence.
Key themes include:
• AI as your narrative engine, not just another tool
• From rented media to owned communities
• Emotional connection > logic (because B2B is still human)
• Fractal storytelling: scaling visibility through trust
• Designing trust as an input, not an output
