Celosphere 2021: Megan Rapinoe, Keith Block, and the First Wave of Speakers and Sessions Announced!

3 days, more than 100 inspiring, hands-on sessions, hosted live from 2 continents for more than 15,000 attendees. That’s what you can expect from Celosphere 2021! But why stop there?

We want you to walk away from Celosphere feeling energized, informed, engaged, and full of new ideas. That’s a tall order for a virtual event, but we’re up for the challenge. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be counting down to the big show by sharing new speakers every week, including our incredible lineup of superstar Special Guest Speakers and CEO Speakers.

Today, we’re thrilled to unveil our first two headliners… and you won’t be disappointed.

We also wanted to let you know that the full agenda is now available at www.celonis.com/celosphere-agenda. You can start exploring sessions there — stay tuned for frequent updates.

And now (drumroll please) allow us to introduce…

See Megan in the Keynote and hear her thoughts about driving change in sports, in business, and in the world — and how it’s all connected.

Sometimes you have to break old things to make new things happen. Join Keith in our CEO Fireside Chat and hear why he believes we’re facing another big break from old world tech to new world intelligent execution — at the same scale as on-prem to cloud.
