SPEAKING
Talks That Start Conversations
Jamie doesn't lecture. He starts conversations. From a TEDx stage at 24 to BananaConf and boardroom sessions with senior leaders, his talks are interactive, thought-provoking, and grounded in the real work of building with AI every day. Audiences leave thinking differently, not just feeling inspired.

From Keynotes to Deep Dives
Every talk is tailored to your audience, your industry, and what you want people to do differently after they leave the room.
Virtual Keynote
High-energy, interactive sessions designed for virtual audiences. Live demos, audience participation, and practical takeaways. Not a webinar with slides. Jamie built and ran virtual conferences in VR during the pandemic, so remote engagement is second nature.
Request availability →In-Person Keynote
Conference keynotes and corporate events from 50 to 2,000+ attendees. Expect audience participation, thought-provoking questions (like whether you would trust a cognitive digital twin to make decisions for you), and ideas people are still talking about weeks later.
Request availability →Half-Day Workshop
Deeper dive sessions that combine keynote-style inspiration with hands-on exercises. Your audience leaves with tools and frameworks they can use immediately, not just motivation.
Request availability →Full-Day Workshop
Intensive sessions for leadership teams and L&D groups. Strategy, hands-on AI experience, and action planning in a single day. This is where organisations start making real decisions.

Topics That Resonate
Industrial to Digital Mindset
We educated people like machines. Now machines machine better. This talk explores what it means to be valuable in an AI-driven world, and why the 5 C's matter more than any technical skill.
Human-Centric AI Skills
AI is a people challenge, not a technology challenge. How to build teams that thrive with AI by focusing on Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Curiosity.
The Art of Automation
Not everything that can be automated should be. A practical framework for deciding what to automate, what to augment, and what to leave to humans.
AI Governance and Ethics
A computer can never be held accountable, so somebody must be. Practical governance frameworks that protect your organisation without killing innovation.
Intent-Driven Design
When you design for the extremes, you benefit the mean. How building for accessibility and inclusion creates better products and services for everyone.

Speaking Questions
How far in advance should we book?+
Ideally 2 to 3 months for keynotes, though we accommodate shorter timelines when possible. The earlier you reach out, the more we can tailor the content to your event.
Do you tailor talks to our industry?+
Always. Jamie researches your audience, your industry challenges, and your event objectives before designing the session. No two talks are the same.
What is included in the speaker fee?+
Content customisation, a pre-event briefing call, the session itself, and a post-event resource pack for attendees. Travel and accommodation are additional.
Can you run a workshop alongside the keynote?+
Absolutely. Many clients book a keynote for the wider audience and a half-day workshop for their leadership team or L&D function.
Do you speak internationally?+
Yes. Jamie has spoken across the UK, Europe, and virtually worldwide. International travel is arranged on a case-by-case basis.
