He Was a Microsoft Evangelist, and Now He Is Saving the World from Boredom – and Coming to the Communication Days!

The Communication Days, a well-known festival of market communication and creativity that gathers several thousand participants, will take place from April 20 to 23, 2023, and that nothing in communications is black and white, and that it is far from predictable, especially boring, will once again be proven by stage favorite – James Whittaker.

An evangelist, futurist, scientist, and recently a successful brewer, he will show us a whole range of possibilities, potentials, and nuances that the future offers, as well as how to turn the craziest ideas into incredibly good business moves that will change the world. This visionary is described as a breath of fresh air in the monotonous world of ordinary personalities, and his brilliant mind has been part of the largest global companies such as Microsoft, Google, and even the FBI.

Known as a brutally honest speaker, he has also written a book on the superpowers of the profession, providing candid and open insights on how to make a career journey extraordinary and get the most out of it. His appearances are not frequent, and the rare lucky ones who manage to listen to him live experience the unforgettable bursts of energy that lift everyone to their feet and engage even the last individual in the audience.

The feeling after his lectures is similar to that after a great rock concert, and he prepares for them unexpectedly for weeks, carefully thinking, designing, and writing to bring them to perfection. But this is not surprising considering that after earning his doctorate in computer science at the beginning of his story, he spent years researching, patenting, and studying all the rules of that world – so that years later he would know how to successfully detect technological futures and continuously innovate out of all frameworks.

– If we do not change the world, someone else will do it instead of us – Whittaker’s creative motto, and at the festival stage of the Communication Days, in a lecture titled Fuck The Future, Love The Future: The Next 30 Years For Better or for Worse, he will share his superpowers for a brilliant future because, as he says, the present annoys him incredibly.

The Communication Days, with their atypical approach, aim to continue winning the hearts of all those eager for critical thinking, new approaches, and innovative technologies. Known for asking unconventional questions and seeking extraordinary answers, they provide unique experiences every year and gather the beloved community of market communications.

After Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee and NSA consultant who worked on creating ‘the most efficient system of social control in human history’ and who will join festival participants via video link, and James Whittaker, there will be announcements of many other interesting participants.

All creatives, marketers, digital experts, media, and other communicators who wish to be in the company of domestic and global market leaders this year can find information about participation at www.danikomunikacija.com.
