Booking
01The date. It is the one question you can answer without asking a committee.

03The answer. Availability first, then whether the talk is right for that audience.
Questions
AI and what it changes for the people who have to work with it. Four areas in particular: AI that augments people rather than replacing them, governing autonomous agents, telling genuine shifts apart from hype, and AI applied to human problems in health, mental health and accessibility. Every talk is shaped around the event's theme rather than delivered off the shelf.
Industry conferences, corporate and leadership events, developer and open source events, and universities. He has opened conference main stages such as INFOCOM Hyderabad and the nasscom Big Data and Analytics Summit, spoken at TED@IBM and TEDxCincinnati, keynoted the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit North America, and run sessions for university developer communities.
Send the date through the form on this page, with the event and who is in the room. Availability comes back first, before fee or format is discussed, so you know quickly whether to keep him on your shortlist.
Yes, and he does both. Corporate and leadership audiences usually want the accountability and the signal versus hype material. University and developer audiences usually want the technical work and the career path. The talk is built differently for each.
