What if every word you learn in another language adds another square foot to your life? In this keynote, Justin shows how language reshapes the brain, expands opportunities, and transforms the way we see, connect, and understand the world. Come for the data, stay for the stories, and leave realizing that the future of languages isn’t measured in words, but in the size of the life they let you live. 

Please note: the keynote will be in English.
