Shaped to what your teams are actually doing
The framing changes depending on whether your people are building with this technology, buying it, or being told it will change their jobs.
Speaking topic
An AI speaker for a company event, all-hands or leadership offsite
Internal audiences want something different from a conference crowd. They are going back to their desks afterwards, so the talk has to survive contact with the work they already have on.
The room
All-hands and town halls, leadership offsites, engineering weeks, customer and partner events.
Every booking starts the same way: tell him who is in the room and what you want them doing afterwards. The enquiry form asks for exactly that and nothing else.

What it covers
The beats of the talk
Shaped to your audience rather than delivered off the shelf, so treat these as the argument rather than as a running order.
The version that survives Monday
A talk that ends in a way of thinking your teams can use, rather than an hour of enthusiasm that evaporates.
Q&A that earns its slot
Internal rooms ask harder and more specific questions than conference rooms. That is the most valuable part of an internal booking and it is worth scheduling properly.
Workshop format
Longer, smaller, and hands-on, for a leadership group that wants to end with decisions rather than notes.
Why him
He is an AI and software architect at IBM, so an internal engineering audience gets somebody who does this work rather than somebody who reports on it.
On this subject
Watch him make this argument
Every one is public, plays here, and carries its year. This is an archive, not a schedule.
Questions
What organisers ask about this one
Yes. Raise it in the enquiry and it is handled before anything is scheduled.
Yes, and it is worth doing. He would rather have the real question than a curated one.
Yes. Say so in the enquiry, because a remote session is written differently from a room session rather than being the same talk on a webcam.
