Keynote and Panel Specialities
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
Blockchain Hurricane
Drawing on my 2020 book for Business Expert Press, talks on the adoption of blockchain across industry can be tailored to the specific audience sector. Talks have previously focused on supply chain disruption, the games industry, blockchain in the public sector, the evolution of cryptocurrency and blockchain, and challenges for the future.
‘Ask Me Anything’
This is a great way to pitch the delivery to the level of the audience. As understanding of blockchain technology increases, balancing a presentation between 101 and expert, and between technical aspects and business applications, is a tricky task. I am confident in the breadth, depth and currency of my knowledge and can manage quick-fire questioning.
A Changing World
Want to understand the impact of emerging technologies on a specific industry, to reassure and inspire an audience? I have delivered talks and webinars for industry groups including the British Computer Society and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, focusing on blockchain, Internet of Things and machine learning / AI / robotics.
Adoption of New Technologies
How can people absorb the facts they need to survive in a rapidly changing world? Following the publication of four books (to date) which address the challenges of our changing world, I am embarking on academic research around the adoption of new technologies (2020, Teesside University Business School). Talks delivered on the topic include “Fact or Fiction? Making cybersecurity learning accessible” first delivered for CyberFest North East 2019. This draws on my fiction work and wider academic research. Fiction provides one route to embed knowledge around emerging technologies.
