My Keynote sessions are fun, punchy, educational and very ME. Choose from this list. You can add a workshop from the workshop list if your event supports breakout sessions. I focus on how an ordinary professional becomes extraordinary with AI and am committed to ensuring that is the key takeaway.
AI Is My CoPilot.
Theme: Personal productivity and augmentation.
The most successful professionals are not using AI to replace their thinking – they’re using it to amplify it. This keynote explores how individuals are using AI as a researcher, sounding board, coach, analyst, assistant, and creative partner to achieve more in less time. Based on my popular 1 day course AI Is My Copilot, this is a fun taster session
AI Slop – Who Made This Mess?
Theme: Accountability, judgement, governance.
Everyone complains about AI slop, but few people ask where it comes from. Through humour, real-world examples, and practical insight, Laurel explores why poor AI outcomes are often blamed on technology rather than the decisions, processes, and leadership surrounding it. Improve the organisations outputs by understanding the impact of the inputs.
The Robots Are Fine. It’s The Humans I’m Worried About.
Theme: Jobs, workforce, organisational design and restructure due to AI
Every technology revolution creates winners, losers, and entirely new jobs that nobody saw coming. AI is already reshaping organisations, changing reporting lines, redefining expertise, and shifting where value is created. This keynote explores which roles are growing, which are shrinking, and why the most valuable people in the AI era may not be who you think. Not a crystal ball but a framework for organisational change.
I Paid For AI. Now Make It Work.
Theme: Productivity and ROI.
Many organisations have purchased AI tools. Far fewer are seeing meaningful returns. This practical keynote examines where AI is genuinely improving productivity, where organisations are wasting money, and how to turn experimentation into measurable business outcomes. I go through pilot programs, RoI, case studies and more across many models (Claude, GPT, Copilot) and AI workspaces.
The Intern Read Every Document. And Has Opinions.
Theme: Enterprise AI, AI and Documents, Foundation Model agnostic (Claude for Enterprise, ChatGPT for Enterprise, MS Copilot Sharepoint etc)
What if a new employee joined your organisation tomorrow, read every policy, report, contract, strategy document, meeting note and procedure manual, then became available to every staff member at any time? Welcome to enterprise AI.
The Future Is Unreal.
Theme: Society, trust, media, synthetic reality.
When AI can generate images, video, voices, code, reports, and expertise on demand, how do we know what to trust? This thought-provoking keynote explores the opportunities and risks of living in a world where reality is becoming increasingly synthetic.
Congratulations, You Have AI. Sorry About That.
Theme: Change management and adoption.
Buying AI is easy. Encouraging people to use it properly is hard. This keynote explores why some organisations achieve extraordinary results while others end up with expensive subscriptions, confused staff, and disappointing outcomes. Audiences will discover the human side of AI adoption and the leadership behaviours that separate success from frustration.

AI for Startups: Leverage Your Custom Instructions #Australia
Most founders don’t need more AI tools. They need better thinking. Or at least, someone to think with (if they’ve been brought in with information). This approach treats AI not as an answer machine, but as a business partner – one that is briefed properly, challenges when needed, and guides toward real outcomes like revenue,…
