Molting Futures: Transformation in the Year of the Snake — From Data to Destiny

Inspired by the silent power of women artists in the Rijksmuseum, this keynote explores how legacy, intuition, and reinvention converge in the age of data and AI.

In astrology, the Snake represents wisdom, reinvention, and the courage to outgrow what no longer serves us. As 2025 unfolds, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment — not just modernizing or digitizing but truly transforming.

In this keynote, Bidisha Agarwal weaves together her personal journey, symbolic insights from the Year of the Snake, and the powerful role of data and AI in reshaping the future.

She invites us to reflect on what we must let go of — systems, assumptions, or fears — to lead in this new era. It’s a call to evolve beyond tools and technologies and into deeper intentionality: where transformation is not just what we build, but who we become.

Key Takeaways:

• True transformation requires letting go — of outdated systems, assumptions, and internal limitations — not just adopting new tools.
• Data and AI are not the destination, but the catalysts — for reimagining leadership, decision-making, and systemic change.
• Legacy, intuition, and reinvention must co-exist — drawing from the wisdom of the past to shape a more intentional and intelligent future.
