Live from the Field
Travel keynote speakers for tourism summits, destination management organisations (DMOs) and hospitality conferences. On stage in English or Norwegian.
“We don’t study the travel industry. We live it. We built a vacation rental business from scratch — 70 cabins, Gaselle award winner, 75% international guests. Mistakes included.”
“A timely perspective on the future of travel — and a genuinely impressive demonstration of how a small company uses technology, insight and analysis to reach far beyond its local market.”
Norwegian Style
Simple. Grounded. Ready to use.
A Humanoid for the Job Nobody Applies For
We ordered the humanoid. Now what?
We've placed the order. Now we wait, and prepare. This is the unfolding story of a small vacation rental company bringing a humanoid robot into a real business.
Recruiting to our rural area keeps getting harder. Could a humanoid robot cut our operating costs by 75%? We don't know yet. We're the ones finding out.
Competence Was a Hire. Now It's a Decision.
We run 70 cabins and 40,000 guest nights a year with three people in administration. Eight members of our team aren't human.
Small companies spend their days on operations and firefighting. Leadership gets whatever time is left. AI changed that for us. It gives a small business the breadth of expertise that used to take a large organisation: market intelligence, analysis, digital visibility, customer service.
That gave us time to lead. And because we're small, we move faster than the big players can.
This keynote shows how, with our own systems and our own data, on stage.
The New Customers - Gen Z
Gen Z changed our business before we understood why
Our ratings dropped in 2025, and we hadn't changed a thing. Gen Z had arrived in the cabin market, with near-zero tolerance for operational failure and a review culture that forgives nothing.
This keynote shows what we saw in our data, what we got wrong, and what to change before your guests find out for you.
Beyond The Keynote
Some organisations want to go further than a keynote. If you're looking for a hands-on partner to work through research, development, strategy, technology decisions, or implementation — the same way we do it in our own business — we'd love to have that conversation.
“As a destination organization, we value Norway Says, with Heidi & Tormod as small business owners, ability to translate real-world tourism experience into actionable insights. Their knowledge of traveler behavior, technology, and destination development is both relevant and inspiring.”
