Why Book an AI Speaker?
At The Lavin Agency, we’ve been booking AI speakers since 2019—long before ChatGPT was a household name—and we’ve seen a major shift in how businesses think about AI. It’s no longer a niche topic. It’s a critical business imperative for every company. And this year, we’re seeing even more of a shift: from understanding to implementation. Leaders across the country are looking to understand not only what AI is, but what it can do for them.
If you’re at a turning point in your company, or you know AI can work for you but you’re not sure how, or you’re looking to get ahead of the competition (and who isn’t?)—consider booking an AI speaker.
What can an AI speaker do for me?
A top AI speaker can:
- Turn hype into strategy. AI is everywhere, but what does it actually mean for your industry? A speaker helps cut through the noise and highlight what’s relevant to your business.
- Demystify AI for decision-makers. Whether you’re a CEO, manager, or entrepreneur, understanding AI is essential. The right speaker makes it accessible, actionable, and directly applicable to your role.
- Drive innovation. If you think AI is simply about automation, think again. It’s creating entirely new ways of working, thinking, and competing. A great speaker helps you embrace this mindset.
- Prepare your workforce for the future. As AI tools reshape jobs and workflows, teams that understand and adapt will thrive. An AI speaker helps future-proof your workforce by equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need.
How do I choose the right AI speaker?
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to AI. The best AI speakers tailor their insights to your specific industry and needs. Here are a few potential angles to consider when selecting an AI speaker:
AI and Leadership
AI is redefining what it means to be a great leader. Data-driven decision-making, predictive analytics, and automation are changing how executives strategize and manage teams. A speaker in this space can show how AI can help leaders improve risk assessment, make smarter business decisions, get better insights and optimize company performance, and much more. If you’re feeling like you’re not as close to the business as you used to be and would like a better understanding of what’s happening on the ground, consider booking an AI and leadership speaker.
AI and Innovation
AI is fueling a wave of groundbreaking innovation—from predictive customer service models to AI-powered creativity in marketing and design. Now that we can pump out twice the amount of work in half the time, human intentionality and creativity will be in higher demand than ever before. A speaker focused on AI and innovation can help your team identify opportunities for AI-driven disruption, streamline the boring work that no one wants to do, and understand what AI can do for them (and where beautifully human creativity still wins out).
AI and Humans
AI isn’t just about machines—it’s about people. How will AI reshape your workforce? What skills will be in demand? In a world where workforce transformation is top of mind, the companies that get ahead will be the ones that understand what AI can do—and what it can’t. An AI speaker will help leaders navigate the challenges of AI-driven job shifts, providing strategies for integrating AI tools effectively and navigating the changes on the horizon.
AI and Society
AI is reshaping our society in ways we aren’t even aware of yet. It’s changing how we think about our work, our planet, our communities, and even ourselves. In this moment of rapid technological change, how can we maintain our humanity without rejecting progress outright? An AI and society speaker can help with that. A thought leader, public intellectual, or advocate can help you consider the changes AI is bringing to your life, and what you want to bring with you into the AI future.
AI and Education
Far from being simply an essay-writing tool, AI is changing how our students approach the world around them. How can we prepare the next generation of students and workers to enter a world of rapid change? An AI and education speaker offers practical tips on implementing workshops and training programs, fostering a culture of AI partnership and human curiosity, and much more.
Bringing AI to Your Organization: The Time Is Now
AI isn’t a futuristic concept—it’s here, and it’s moving fast. Organizations that act now will have a major advantage over those that hesitate. The companies that will dominate the next decade aren’t the ones waiting to see what happens. They’re the ones actively shaping the future.
By bringing in a world-class AI speaker, you’re not just educating your team. You’re positioning your organization as a leader in the AI revolution. Whether you want to sharpen your leadership team’s decision-making, spark innovation, or prepare your workforce for the changes ahead, the right speaker can help you do it.
At The Lavin Agency, we work with the world’s top AI thinkers, researchers, and innovators. If you’re ready to future-proof your organization with expert insights and cutting-edge strategies, let’s talk. AI is changing everything—make sure your team is ready to change with it.
