A cultural change is currently taking place. Our view of death and how we deal with the end gets a contemporary upgrade.

Stefanie Schillmöller is a woman with short black hair and glasses who is speaking on stage while holding a remote. There is a presentation slide in the background that includes the words 'inter-reun' and 'VR'.

Funeral ceremonies, mourning objects and farewell rituals are being redesigned. Death becomes more personal, more sustainable and more communal.

Past conferences include The Next Web, re:publica, TODtal Digital, Evangelische Akademie Tutzing, Fifteen Seconds Festival & Professional Women’s Forum.

Clients include Ahorn Gruppe, Space 10, ING, Keeper Memorials, Stylus, Philips etc.

I’m available for keynotes, in person and virtually, at public conferences or in the boardroom. I can deliver deep-dives packed with insights as well as TED-style talks and shorter thought-starters. Presentation languages are English, German and Dutch.

We celebrate the beginning of life extensively, yet ignore the end. But in every good story, it's the ending that matters!
