My keynotes connect what AI makes possible to the experience your audience already brings: where AI can improve their work, where human judgment matters, and a practical next step.

“Thank you so much for being our closing keynote and for sharing your insights on The 7 Roles AI Plays. Your perspective brought an inspiring and thought-provoking close to the event, and we truly appreciated the time, energy, and expertise you brought to the conversation. Your message gave our attendees a lot to think about as they consider how AI is changing the way we work, lead, and create.”
Melanie EspinozaDeputy Director, Washington State Transit Association
“I was agnostic on AI. I’d played with ChatGPT and that was about the extent of it. You opened my eyes at the keynote, and I was blown away at your breakout session. Literally blown away. Two takeaways: AI is easier to use than I thought, and it will help you figure out what you want. It truly was an aha moment for me.”
John ClausonExecutive Director, Kitsap Transit

Before every event, I look at five things about your audience. Stage examples use public, synthetic, de-identified, or approved data.
01The work the audience actually owns.
02The tasks that create friction or consume too much attention.
03The decisions that require human judgment, trust, or accountability.
04The tools, data, policies, and regulations that shape the environment.
