WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Three words come to mind when I reflect on the experience of working with Chris Barton and witnessing his keynote: prepared, personable, and powerful. His keynote was more than a talk—it was a moving experience. By openly sharing the behind-the-scenes journey of building Shazam, and how he turned an ‘impossible’ idea into a world-changing reality, Chris showed us how Shazam helped lay the groundwork for future innovations like Dropbox. His vulnerability, authenticity, and people-first approach left a lasting emotional impact on our audience.”

"Steve delivered a thought-provoking and wildly entertaining keynote on Modern Consumers. His insights into how storytelling, humor, and understanding modern trends can transform customer engagement were nothing short of inspiring. Steve’s ability to blend humor with actionable strategies—complete with memes, trends, and a bit of good-natured teasing of Millennials and Gen Z—had the room energized and engaged. He reminded us of the importance of truly understanding what resonates with our customers. Steve’s presentation reinforced the power of empathy, creativity, and attention to detail when it comes to creating customer experiences. If you’re looking for a keynote speaker who can inspire your team while keeping them entertained, I can’t recommend Steve enough. He brings energy, expertise, and an unparalleled ability to make complex topics feel approachable and impactful."
Sales Director, Amcor
"Steve Rocks! He took a technology that scared the majority of our members and taught them how valuable a tool AI can be to improving their business and being more productive. By taking a foreign concept and breaking it into language we could all understand he showed that not only is it nothing to be afraid of, it should be embraced."
Bowling Proprietors' Association of America

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Keynote Speakers
1. Do AI keynotes work for audiences without a technical background?
Often that’s where they work best. Most organizations booking an AI speaker aren’t full of engineers; they’re associations, sales teams, and industry groups trying to understand what the technology means for their work. A skilled AI speaker translates the subject into plain language and everyday examples. If your audience is non-technical, say so during the booking conversation, because some speakers are researchers at heart while others have made a career of explaining AI to general audiences.
2. How can we tell whether an AI speaker genuinely knows the field?
Look at what they did before AI became a headline topic. Speakers who built products, led teams at technology companies, or published serious work before 2023 tend to have depth that recent arrivals lack. Watch a full talk and notice whether they explain how things work or only repeat familiar predictions. A speaker with real experience can handle unscripted audience questions comfortably; one without it usually retreats to generalities.
3. Should we book a researcher, an industry practitioner, or a futurist?
It depends on what you want the room to feel afterwards. A practitioner suits audiences who need to act, since they speak from deployment experience and can talk honestly about what fails. A futurist suits opening keynotes meant to widen thinking about the decade ahead. A researcher fits technical conferences and policy events. Many strong AI speakers blend two of these, so decide which outcome matters most before comparing names.
4. Can an AI speaker adapt the talk to our industry?
Most will, and the good ones insist on it. Expect a pre-event call where the speaker asks about your sector, your audience’s roles, and how far along your members are with the technology. From there they’ll swap in relevant examples, whether that’s claims processing for insurers or scheduling for construction firms. The degree of customization varies by speaker and fee, so confirm what’s included before contracting rather than assuming a fully tailored talk.
5. AI changes quickly. Will the talk still be current by our event date?
A fair concern, since a talk written last year can already sound dated. Established AI speakers rework their material continuously, and many maintain the strongest talks precisely because the field shifts under them. When vetting, ask how the presentation has changed in the past six months. If the answer is vague, that’s telling. The underlying themes, like how organizations adopt new tools, age well; the examples and tools should be fresh.
6. Should the keynote include live demonstrations of AI tools?
Live demos can be memorable, and a speaker showing a tool responding in real time often lands better than slides about the same tool. They also carry risk: venue wi-fi, tool outages, and unpredictable outputs. Experienced speakers either build in fallbacks, like recorded versions of each demo, or design the talk so a failed demo costs nothing. If you want demos, raise it early so the speaker can plan the technical requirements with your production team.
