Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance for keynotes and eight weeks for customised workshops. For major conferences or events requiring bespoke content development, earlier is better. That said, we can accommodate shorter timelines when availability allows. Get in touch and we'll see what's possible.
Can you customise the content for our industry?
Absolutely. Every engagement is tailored to your audience. We've delivered AI sessions for professional services, manufacturing, mining, construction, finance, legal, government, and healthcare audiences. We research your industry's specific AI use cases, challenges, and opportunities before the event so the content resonates with your attendees.
What's the difference between a keynote and a workshop?
A keynote is a presentation (typically 30-60 minutes) designed to inform, inspire, and shift perspective, ideal for large audiences at conferences or all-hands meetings. A workshop is hands-on (typically half-day) where attendees actively use AI tools on real tasks. Keynotes change how people think about AI. Workshops change how they use it.
Do you provide materials for attendees?
Yes. All attendees receive follow-up resources including slide summaries, prompt templates, tool recommendations, and a quick-reference guide. For workshops, participants also get hands-on exercise materials they can continue practising with after the session.
What's the cost for a conference speaker?
Pricing depends on the format (keynote vs. workshop), duration, customisation level, and location. Keynote presentations start from USD 3,000 and full-day workshops from USD 5,000. Contact us with your event details and we'll provide a tailored quote within 48 hours.
“A really valuable session. I got a lot out of it, and so did my team of marketing and ecommerce professionals. The training will genuinely change how we work and how we use AI day to day. Highly recommend.”
“I’ve been working with Andy over the past 12 months to set up custom chat agents for my startup, and the results have been transformative. He helped develop a CEO-style GPT agent that not only understands our brand tone and messaging style but also deeply grasps our product and strategic goals. This AI assistant has been instrumental in everything from crafting investor-facing business plans to creating high-impact content for co-branding partnerships and capital raise efforts. Now that we’ve successfully raised capital, we’re preparing to launch our product mid-next year and Andy will continue with us as an AI consultant to support a successful rollout and help drive the brand forward. His work has become a key part of our long-term strategy. Highly recommend if you’re serious about integrating AI into your business for real, measurable impact”
“This AI service has been a game-changer for my business. It helped me regain clarity, sharpen our direction, and uncover real opportunities to generate new work. Practical, fast, and commercially focused — it feels like having a strategic advisor on hand whenever you need it. Highly recommended for any business owner who wants momentum back on their side.”
