KOEN SCHOBBERS'S BIOGRAPHY

Koen Schobbers is a leading global expert and entrepreneur in the gaming and
esports industry and is an outstanding, engaging and down-to-earth keynote
speaker looking to educate, activate and inspire his audience.

He became a professional gamer at the age of 15, but the relationship with his
mother was very difficult as a result. He later used this experience to found
Parents of Play to help parents with the relationship with their gaming children
and train professionals on how to deal with gaming children. The concept is
based around his specific models and guidelines which are now used globally.
Koen is also the author of a book titled ‘My Gaming Child’ in which he answers
the 50 most common questions he has been asked by parents. He spoke at TED in
2019 about how to (re)connect with gaming children.

Koen is a board member and vice chair of the Athletes, Players & Community
Commission of the Global Esports Federation (GEF). The Global Esports Federation
has over 140 partnerships including UNESCO, the WHO, Microsoft and over 125
member federations. Koen also founded Koenz, a company helping businesses to
implement the gaming and esports industry in their strategies and campaigns.
Some organizations Koenz has worked with include Vodafone, Spinnin’ Records,
Populous, KIA and Acer.

Koen is highly revered and he has been covered in over 300 media outlets since
2014. Between 2016 and 2020, he was also the anchorman of an esports show
broadcasted on ESPN.

He was the Dutch Champion in Trackmania between 2011 and 2016 and was 3rd at the
World Championships in 2013.

KOEN SCHOBBERS'S SPEAKING TOPICS

 * • Survival in ever-changing environments: lessons from the gaming industry

A company’s ability to adapt to its environment plays an important role in
sustaining or achieving a prosperous future for the organization. The gaming
industry as a whole has continuously adapted to its environment for over half a
century and is now reaping the benefits: exponential growth. Lessons learned
from the gaming industry can be incorporated in organizations to connect with
younger audiences and attract talent. This in turn supports the organization
with business and people sustainability, helping them to achieve a prosperous
future.

 * • Building unbreakable relationships with net-savvy gaming children

Screens and gaming: it’s the #1 hobby of many children... The #1 parenting
problem for many parents... And the #1 annoyance of many professionals. Koen
will introduce you to his own models and guidelines that are used by parents and
professionals across the globe to build unbreakable relationships. These models
and guidelines provide you with practical tools to strengthen, maintain or
restore the relationship with children, and to keep or bring children into a
healthy balance.

 * • The Gamewell Plate and the Hierarchy of Gaming Psychology

Why do games have such a strong appeal? What is 'conscious gaming', ‘balanced
gaming’ or ‘healthy gaming’? How can we ensure that a healthy balance is
maintained? What are the risks if we do not? And, if not, how do we help someone
to get back into a healthy routine?

 * • Opportunities and trends within the industry

The world of gaming and esports is a breeding ground for innovation, supported
by a powerful community that is strongly connected through all online
possibilities. With new heroes, new games and new technological developments,
this industry is set to play a very important role in what’s to come.

 * • Introduction to the gaming and esports industry

The gaming and esports industry has taken the world by storm. Where does this
industry come from? What is this industry about? How does it work? And why is it
growing exponentially?

 * • The Virtuous Five of Personal Development

Koen will take you on a bumpy ride through his career in which he quickly
noticed that certain key behavioral characteristics, combined with the right
step-by-step approach, led to great results for people and organizations. Based
on his insights and experiences, he created the Virtuous Five model. He has been
teaching this model to individuals and organizations and has used it himself to
find success in different fields. Give your audience the opportunity to step
into a virtuous cycle and stimulate continuous personal development, increase
motivation and teamwork, and create a positive impact on the business.

COMMENTS & TESTIMONIALS

"Koen was one of the best speakers we ever had on stage at TEDxMünster. His talk
was poignant and intense, and he presented it in a highly professional way:
clear, understandable and entertaining. It was a pleasure to work with him."
Dr. Wiebke Borgers Organizer and Curator at TEDxMünster
"Koen has a sympathetic, accessible personality and is an experienced speaker.
He has a lot of knowledge and experience in the gaming industry and his story is
inspiring to many.’’
Mark Versteegen Sponsorship Director at KPN
‘’Koen's story was spot on. With his knowledge and experience, he managed to
take our international guests into his world of gaming and esports. Koen's
keynote breathes authenticity since you can sense that the material has been
lived through and through. It was noticeable that a lot of time and energy went
into the presentation and it was tailor-made. Literally because we had an
extremely wide screen on stage to which he had adapted his slides and videos and
figuratively because he included our theme in his story. Thank you so much!’’
Thijs Pepping Trend Analyst at Sogeti
