David Shing returns to DK and the future’s about to get wild

Dani Komunikacija

We know you love a good throwback — so let’s rewind to 2015. The hair. The energy. The beautiful chaos. David Shingy Shing lit up our stage and left us questioning everything (in the best way). Now he’s back — sharper, louder, and yes, still rocking better hair than you.

Former AOL Chief Evangelist, now full-time digital philosopher and creative firestarter for brands like LVMH, Chanel, and Nike, Shingy doesn’t do keynotes. He does perspective resets. Provocation. Pattern disruption. The kind of stage moment that jolts your brand awake.

He’s not here to talk trends — he’s here to turn “what if?” into “holy sh*t,” blending instinct, storytelling, and just enough chaos to shake things up. He doesn’t predict the future. He builds it.

This is your chance to see him live, unfiltered, and in full flight. Because the future doesn’t show up politely — it takes someone like David Shing to kick the door open.

On the DK2025 main stage, Shing will share the spotlight with none other than Sophia the Robot, the world’s most famous AI humanoid; Business Insider’s most innovative CMO and Cannes Lions legend Fernando Machado powered by A1, Karen Nelson-Field, the world’s top expert on attention economics, Blair Enns, the world’s leading authority on selling and pricing creative services, Michael Corcoran, the Internet’s savviest troll and the man behind Ryanair’s savage online personality, Marisha Lakhiania visionary leader and expert in the science, art, and psychology of marketing, Johan Ronnestam, a serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and branding mastermind who has helped the world’s most iconic brands stay ahead of the curve, Mirella Crespi, the mastermind behind 2,000+ ads a month in six languages, who crafted for global names like Amazon, Meta Unilever, and Ubisoft, Amber Case powered by ENNA, cyborg anthropologist, Fast Company’s most influential women in technology, author and tech whisperer and Dietmar Dahmen, a creative rockstar and transformation evangelist. With a powerhouse lineup featuring 170+ leaders from Croatia and beyond, this is the event for anyone serious about creativity and communication.
