Fully customized. Never off the shelf.
Built for your Beijing 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 Beijing stages: Forever Human and The Power of Choice, live or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.
An Austrian mother, a French father, a Spanish grandmother and an Italian grandfather taught me early that every culture has its own rules, and that the polite move is to learn them before you arrive. Beijing rewards exactly that: a city where business cards are offered with both hands and the seating plan often says more than the agenda.
For nearly twenty years I sat on your side of the table. I spearheaded the leadership academy of Europe’s largest retail and tourism group and worked with Fortune 100 companies, collaborating with leaders in Germany, the UK and Hong Kong. I learned how much careful preparation an international audience deserves, and how quickly it notices when a speaker has skipped it.
Today I live in Florida and have served audiences in more than 25 countries. I’ve also been married to a German for more than twenty years, living proof that a little diplomacy crosses any border. In a city where ancient heritage meets modern innovation, from the Forbidden City to the Bird’s Nest, asking what keeps people irreplaceable feels especially timely.
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 Beijing: in a capital building its future at full speed, your leaders already work alongside AI. This shows them the human moves no algorithm can copy.
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 Beijing: where seniority, protocol and relationships shape every decision, it reveals how leaders are really judged, and how to shape that judgment on purpose.
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 Beijing, 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. She delivers two keynotes, Forever Human on the human edge in the age of AI and The Power of Choice on how people get chosen, either on a traditional stage or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.
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 Beijing.
Yes, wherever there is a stage and a room that can go dark. Sylvie’s team works directly with your Beijing 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 China requires for foreign speakers. They check the requirements for China 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 Beijing 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.
