Roles

What your audience leaves able to do.

Your members don’t share one job. So the talk doesn’t pick one. Six examples of what people in different seats walk out able to do, from senior leaders to the people doing the work. There are many more, and the talk is built around yours.

And many more

What stays with them

Knowing what a good result looks like, and the context only years in the field give you.

Live demos

How the talk gets built for your event.

Your members’ work shapes the talk before Jordache walks on stage.

  1. 01One to three calls with you, the organizer
  2. 02An attendee survey, when it’s possible
  3. 03Video calls with a couple of your members.
  4. 04A seat in your conference committee’s meeting, when there’s a committee
  5. 05Arriving early to talk with attendees

Every keynote has live demos, usually a handful, built around the room. For one credit audience, one demo came from a conversation he overheard between two attendees two days before he spoke. Afterward, an attendee wrote to say they were already building a dashboard for their account reconciliation process.

How Jordache sees it

AI can protect and amplify the human work your members are already proud of.

Plenty of your members are still waiting for someone to show them where AI fits. People move when they see someone like them using it in work that looks like theirs. So the talk starts with their roles and their examples, and ends with one next step each.

Questions planners ask.

Who is a good AI keynote speaker for an association conference?

Jordache Johnson speaks to association audiences, from leaders to the people doing the work, about putting AI to work in their own roles. He builds each talk around your members’ work, with live demos drawn from it, so people leave with one opportunity that pairs their experience with what AI can do.

Our members work in different roles and industries. Can one talk work for all of them?

Yes. Jordache learns who’s in the room before he builds the talk, and the demos come from the work your members do. A senior leader, a manager and someone early in their career each leave with something for their own role.

How does Jordache prepare for our conference?

One to three calls with you, an attendee survey when it’s possible, and video calls with a couple of your members. When there’s a conference committee, he sits in on its meeting. He arrives early to talk with attendees. Every keynote has live demos, usually a handful, built around the room.

What will our members leave with?

From the lead talk, AI Transformation That Makes You MORE Valuable, Not Less: one opportunity that pairs their experience with what AI can do, a practical next step, and the foundations for scaling AI adoption across their organization. Each of the four talks has its own takeaway, listed above.

Can the talk be customized, delivered virtually, or run as a series?

Yes. Every talk is built around your audience’s roles and examples. It can run as a keynote, a hands-on workshop, or both, in person or as virtual education, or as a series of sessions before and after your conference.

What does it cost to book Jordache?

It depends on the format, the length and travel. Book a call and we’ll talk through your event.
