Keynotes and workshops that leave your audience with tools, not just inspiration.
After 100+ conversations with event professionals, the pattern is clear: “doing more with less” is the actual job description now. Every keynote and workshop is built around tools that fit that reality.
Tools you take home
Every session ends with a custom GPT or working framework the audience can use that week.
Shaped by 100+ talks
Frameworks built from real conversations with working event professionals, not desk research.
Tailored to your event
Every keynote and workshop is customized to your audience, your industry, and the specific problems they're trying to solve.
Working with Noah has been fantastic. His expertise in AI, specific to the events industry, cuts through the noise to deliver exactly what event professionals need to know. He is incredibly generous with his time and genuinely committed to helping our exhibitors feel confident using AI.
Speaking topics
Where AI Delivers Real ROI
Your audience has heard 'AI is coming' a hundred times by now. What they're missing is the 0–10 scoring system that tells them which tasks AI handles well today and which still need a human. They leave with three custom tools, one personalized scorecard, and a framework they can apply on Monday.
Key takeaways
- The 0–10 AI Readiness Scale for evaluating any task
- Live demo of custom AI tools built for their industry
- Implementation guides and a personalized AI adoption roadmap
- Real-world case studies from 100+ event professionals
AI in Events: Do More With Less
Still spending hours on event timelines, wrestling with stakeholder comms, drowning in post-event survey data, and rebuilding the same RFP every quarter? This workshop uses the 0–10 AI Readiness Scale to sort every task into one of three buckets: automate, augment, or keep firmly human. The hands-on session sends participants home with custom AI tools that cut hours off real workflows.
Key takeaways
- Personal AI Readiness Scorecard with your workflow mapped to the 0–10 scale
- Event Timeline Generator built and customized during the session
- Know Engine vs. Do Engine framework for evaluating any AI tool
- Priority implementation list: three tasks to automate this week
- Access to the full AI tools library (11+ custom GPTs)
AI as Your Strategic Advisory Board
Most event pros are stuck answering task-level questions while leadership wants strategic ones. This keynote turns AI into your C-suite advisory board so you can analyze any challenge through CFO, CMO, CEO, and COO lenses at once, then make strategic decisions with the same clarity executives expect.
Key takeaways
- Custom GPT for the C-Suite Advisory Board exercise, built during the session
- Framework for mapping decisions to executive priorities (the Four Lenses)
- Build a stakeholder-ready business case during the session
- Cheat sheet: what each C-suite role cares about when evaluating events
