'Theo is a man on a mission, he knows his stuff inside out and when he opens his mouth, you really ought to sit up and listen."
Speaking
I've had the pleasure of appearing at some of the biggest conferences, and at smaller, more intimate corporate events, delivering keynote talks to events ranging from 20 to 20,000 attendees. I've been part of panels, moderated discussions and chaired conferences across the World from the USA, Peru, Australia, Dubai, and Germany, to Thailand, the UK, Sweden, China, Malta, and South Africa.
I like to talk about emerging technologies from an industry-agnostic perspective but also cover sectors including financial services, law, healthcare, government, space and more. One of my strengths is looking for the convergence of multiple trends and how they impact business and society - right now there's a confluence swirling with Web3, Metaverse and Spatial Computing, and Artificial Intelligence.
Typically I'm sought after for;
Internal sales events, AGM's, GTM's and large annual client conferences.
Talking to smaller teams of people who need help with digital business transformation.
Larger open events with tickets for sale, where I can kick off proceedings with a made to measure keynote talk
Topic driven sessions. A focus on one area like how to best use AI, how to understand the future in a more pragmatic way, or a focus on one area like business transformation, or innovation/creativity.
