How to choose and book an AI keynote speaker

What AI speakers bring to your event

An AI keynote helps your audience separate what artificial intelligence can do today from the hype, and decide what to do about it. The right speaker makes the technology concrete for executives, sales teams and practitioners alike.

Zack Kass, former go-to-market lead at OpenAI, and Sol Rashidi, the first Chief AI Officer, speak about putting AI to work at scale. Cassie Kozyrkov, Google’s first Chief Decision Scientist, focuses on AI and better decision-making. Futurists Jim Carroll and Steve Brown, a former Google DeepMind executive, look at where the technology is heading, and Theresa Payton, the first female White House CIO, covers the cyber and privacy risks that come with it.

How to choose the right AI speaker

Start with what your audience needs to leave with, then narrow the list:

  • Depth. Leadership audiences want strategy and decisions; technical teams can go deeper into how the tools work.
  • Angle. Adoption and productivity, long-range futures, and risk and security are three different talks.
  • Builder or observer. Operators who scaled AI inside companies speak from experience; futurists bring the wider view.
  • Budget and format. Compare the fee ranges and travel locations on each card, and check who offers a virtual keynote.

AI speaker FAQs

How much does it cost to hire an AI keynote speaker?

In-person fees for the AI speakers we represent range from about $16,500 to $85,000, depending on the speaker, date, location and format. Each card shows the current fee range.

Can an AI speaker work for a non-technical audience?

Yes. Most AI keynotes are built for business audiences and focus on what the technology means for decisions, jobs and customers rather than how it is engineered.

How current will the content be?

AI changes quickly, so ask the speaker to cover recent developments when you check availability. Many update their keynotes between events.

Can AI speakers present virtually?

Some can. Use the In Person or Virtual filter, and check each profile for a virtual fee.

What is the difference between an AI speaker and a futurist?

AI speakers focus on artificial intelligence specifically, often from building or deploying it. Futurists cover a wider range of trends, of which AI is one.
