Fully customized. Never off the shelf.
Built for your Hong Kong stage.
Sylvie di Giusto calls the United States home, and airport lounges around the world her second office. She is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker who helps organizations, and the people inside them, become impossible to replace. She has worked with leaders from Germany to the UK and Hong Kong, and brings two keynotes to Hong Kong stages: Forever Human and The Power of Choice, live or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.
Hong Kong was on my map long before I ever stepped onto a keynote stage. In my corporate years, some of the leaders I worked with most closely were based here, and they taught me how fast a decision can move when East and West share one table. This is a city that negotiates in two languages and thinks in several time zones at once.
For nearly twenty years I sat on your side of the table. I led the leadership academy of Europe’s largest retail and tourism group, shaped how its leaders were developed, and booked the speakers who stood in front of them. That work stretched from Germany to the UK and Hong Kong, so I know how little patience a busy Hong Kong audience has for a speaker who wastes its time.
Born and raised in Austria, with a French father, a Spanish grandmother and an Italian grandfather, I learned early that switching codes is a survival skill. Today I live in Tampa, Florida, and have served audiences in more than 25 countries. Airport lounges are my second office, and the long flight to Hong Kong is worth every hour of it.
The better the machines get, the more your people will set you apart.
AI just made everyone equally capable. Sylvie names the ten moves a machine still can’t make and shows your audience how to lead, sell and connect with the human signals technology can’t fake.
Why it lands in Hong Kong: in a financial hub where speed is everything, your leaders are already handing tasks to AI. This shows them which decisions must stay human.
Explore Forever Human
What your people know rarely gets them chosen. What others see in them does.
Clients, talent and the room decide in seconds. Sylvie reveals the five dimensions that quietly decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and how to shape them on purpose.
Why it lands in Hong Kong: where reputation travels faster than the Star Ferry, it shows leaders exactly how they are judged and how to become the one who gets chosen.
Explore The Power of ChoiceNo slides, no pre-recorded hologram beamed in from somewhere else. Sylvie stays live in the room while holograms appear around her, and your leaders, sponsors and theme can step into the story. In Hong Kong, our team works hand in hand with your venue and AV partner, so the wow never costs you a sleepless night.

Sylvie di Giusto is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker and has worked with leaders across Europe and Asia.

Yes. Every keynote is researched and customized for your people, your industry and your theme, and Sylvie’s multicultural background helps her connect with audiences of many nationalities in Hong Kong.
Yes, wherever there is a stage and a room that can go dark. Sylvie’s team works directly with your Hong Kong venue and AV partner, checks the floor plan early and sends the full tech requirements. See how the experience works.
Forever Human. It shows audiences the ten moves a machine still can’t make, and turns AI anxiety into a clear plan for the human skills that grow in value as technology gets better.
The Power of Choice. It reveals the five dimensions that decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and shows people how to shape those judgments on purpose. It is built on Sylvie’s book The Image of Leadership.
Yes. Sylvie speaks in more than 25 countries. Her team handles travel and logistics, so you work with one contact from the first call to the show.
Yes. Sylvie partners with speaker bureaus around the world. If a bureau already supports your event, Sylvie’s team will work directly with them from the first call to the show, so you keep the partner you trust.
Sylvie’s team handles it with you. Sylvie speaks internationally all year, so her team knows the paperwork a cross-border keynote can involve: business visas or work permits, invitation letters, and any tax forms Hong Kong SAR requires for foreign speakers. They check the requirements for Hong Kong SAR early, tell you exactly what they need from you, and take care of the rest, so nothing stands between your date and the stage.
As early as your dates are set. Peak conference seasons in Hong Kong fill venues and hotels fast, and the 3D immersive keynote needs a few weeks of custom work for your audience. Check availability to hold your date.
Yes. Both keynotes are available in person, hybrid or virtual, and each version is customized to your audience and theme.
