“I’ve had the absolute pleasure of seeing Peter Ward in action at so many ICE gatherings – whether he’s bringing energy and joy to the ICE Summer Party or Ball, or guiding deep, meaningful conversations on our retreats. Every time, I’m struck by how effortlessly he connects with a room. Peter has this rare gift of knowing exactly what a space needs – whether that’s humour, insight, or a powerful moment of reflection. He doesn’t just speak; he creates an experience. You can see people leaning in, fully engaged, because they feel seen, heard, and challenged in the best possible way. What makes Peter stand out isn’t just his energy or presence (though he has both) – it’s his ability to turn words into real impact. He sparks ideas, strengthens connections, and leaves people not just inspired but ready to take action. Every time I hear him, I walk away thinking differently. And I know I’m not the only one.”

Julie, Co-Lead and Head of Operations, The ICE Network

“Peter Ward is a speaker like no other. At Davos, his ability to captivate a full audience – speaking right after President Duma – was nothing short of extraordinary. He effortlessly dispelled myths around longevity, AI, and health, leaving the audience both inspired and empowered with practical insights they could apply immediately. His participation in our panel at Polish Business House was a highlight, sparking engaging discussions that continued long after the session ended. Beyond that, I had the privilege of attending Peter’s Human Connection session at the House of Human Connection, which he co-founded, set atop Magic Mountain. It was one of the most profound experiences of Davos week, with attendees universally describing it as transformational. The feedback from both events was off the charts – Peter has a rare gift for engaging audiences on a deeply intellectual, emotional, and even spiritual level. I have personally joined the community Peter has built, because his ability to create meaningful connection and drive impact is something that needs to be bottled. I couldn’t recommend him more as an immersive, thought-provoking, and truly engaging speaker.”

Lukasz, Founder, Linkgevity

“Peter Ward delivered one of the most captivating keynotes we’ve ever hosted at Maddyness. His talk, ‘Are we cheating death because we are afraid to die?’, was thought-provoking, deeply engaging, and masterfully delivered. He didn’t just speak – he sparked conversation, challenged perspectives, and brought the audience into the experience. The packed room was fully immersed, and he had them on their feet in a standing ovation. Peter has a rare ability to command a room, foster real connection, and leave a lasting impact.”
