Keynote Speakers
We offer keynote speakers and subject-matter experts from across the cultural sector, including film & TV, theatre, festivals, events, sports, music, arts and wider cultural production.
Through our pan-Nordic network we represent prominent profiles working actively with sustainable transformation in the cultural and creative industries. We operate as an expert agency, connecting organisations with leading voices across Scandinavia, making it easy to engage people who can inspire real climate action in culture.
You can book speakers directly through us, and we facilitate formats ranging from short inspirational keynotes to panel participation, moderated talks, fireside conversations or full-day engagements.
Hanne Eggen Røislien
My keynotes bridge theory and lived experience. I bring the world as it actually is, hard, complex, and unforgiving, and make it land.
Not as abstract analysis, but as something you recognise, feel, and can use. Audiences leave not just informed, but moved. And with a clearer sense of what culture actually means when it matters most.
My workshops are hands-on and direct. We work with your culture as it actually is, not as it looks on paper.
Participants leave with ownership of their own culture, a clear understanding of what drives performance and wellbeing, and concrete tools to strengthen both, individually and collectively, in line with your organisation's strategy.
Keynotes
What culture actually is and why it's your most powerful tool
Culture shapes whether people do what needs to be done when no one is watching.
This talk gives you a sharp framework for understanding what culture is, how it forms, and what keeps it alive.

45 - 60 minutes
How to build the culture you actually want
Knowing what culture is, gets you halfway.
This talk is about the concrete moves that form, shift, and anchor a culture over time, and which concrete – and surprisingly easy - measures you must take to get the effect you want.

Pep & Prep
Sustainability work is hard.
Resources are limited, time is short, and the resistance is real. This is a working session for individuals navigating a specific challenge: sustainability mandates, internal resistance, reputational pressure, difficult communication. We dig into your situation and leave with a clear strategy and concrete next steps.

Hanne & Mads Astrup Rønning
Together, Hanne and Mads bring a powerful intersection of deep organisational culture, human behavior, and decades of high-stakes film production experience to their teachings.
As a veteran film producer and the co-founder of the Green Producers Club, Mads knows the intense, practical, and messy realities of creative operations inside out. Hanne bridges complex theory and lived experience, stripping away abstract analysis to make cultural and strategic challenges deeply relatable and impossible to ignore.
Their joint keynote and workshops look at the creative sector exactly as it is, not as it looks on paper. By blending hard industry logistics with profound human insight, they don’t just leave participants informed; they leave them moved, aligned, and equipped with the raw tools needed to turn strategic sustainability into a collective, high-performing reality.
How to make people care
The culture industry shapes what people value, what they laugh at, what they consider normal.
That comes with responsibility, and an opportunity most of the industry has yet to take seriously.
Hanne Røislien and Mads Astrup Rønning make the case for why culture has to lead on sustainability, and what it takes to communicate it in ways that stick.

45 - 60 minutes
How to make people care The Workshop
The talk raises the question. The workshop works through it.
How does your organisation talk about sustainability, and who are you actually reaching?
Hanne and Mads work with your team on the gap between intention and impact, and what to do about it.
