Karl Gilis: Keynote Speaker - UX Comedian

What do people say about Karl?

I know, it’s very easy to say great things about myself. So I’ll let other people do the talking.

“It was like seeing Ricky Gervais doing a Stand Up about CRO and personalization. You definitely killed it.”
Lennart Gawell, Senior Converson Manager, Vodafone

I’ve never seen anything similar to this. All attendees gave Karl a 5-star rating. My deep respect for that performance. I think it was the best I’ve ever seen.
André Morys, CEO Web Arts and organizer Growth Marketing Summit in Frankfurt

“Karl received the by far best ratings ever seen on Conversion Jam, the biggest CRO conference in Europe. And the second time he spoke here, the audience seemed to like him even more. Probably because Karl always delivers.
John Ekman, Chief Conversionista and organizer Conversion Jam in Stockholm and Oslo

Hm, I’d still like to see a video first

So what does he talk about?

Not too much about AGConsult. He wants the attendees to go home with inspiration for their own websites, by showing real-life examples and cases. He talks about any of the following topics:

• Conversion rate optimization
• Information architecture
• Digital marketing
• User experience

• User research
• Usability

Some titles of talks he’s given:

• Don’t do anything on your website you wouldn’t do on a first date
• How conversion optimization made me a better UX designer
• Best practices don’t always work
• How to create better A/B tests based on user research
