Booking and pricing

• What does it cost to book Brandon for an AI keynote?

  Keynotes start at $5,000+. Exact pricing depends on format (keynote vs workshop), event location, audience size, and customization requirements. If you share date, location, audience type, and goals, you’ll get a fast quote.

• Do you offer a standard keynote fee versus custom pricing?

  Yes. Standard keynote pricing covers a proven talk with light tailoring. Custom pricing applies when you need pre-event discovery, company-specific examples, leadership alignment, or workshop deliverables.

• What’s included in the speaking fee?

  Typically included:

  • Pre-event call (15–30 minutes) with the organizer

  • Light tailoring for audience and industry

  • Delivery + Q&A (if requested)

  • Post-event follow-up resources (selected frameworks / links)

  • Workshops and offsites may include additional deliverables (agenda, worksheets, ROI model templates).

• What is your availability and lead time to book?

  Most events book 4–8 weeks out. Shorter timelines are possible if the schedule is open.

• Do you require a deposit?

  For most in-person events, yes—typically a deposit to secure the date, with the balance due before the event.

• Do you travel for speaking engagements?

  Yes. In-person keynotes and workshops are available in the U.S. and internationally, with travel handled either by the organizer or as an added line item.

Topics and outcomes

• What are Brandon’s most requested AI keynote topics?

Common requests include:

AI ROI in 30–60–90 Days (how leaders drive measurable outcomes quickly)

The AI Adoption Trap (why pilots stall and how to operationalize change)

Agents Will Eat Labor (what changes in operating models and work design)

Decision Velocity (how AI compresses decision cycles, not just tasks)

• Are the talks technical?

  No but they can be if requested. The content is executive-level and business-first. It’s designed for leaders making operating model, investment, and change-management decisions—without drowning them in model details.

• What’s the #1 outcome audiences walk away with?

  Clarity: what to do next week, next month, and next quarter to move from “AI curiosity” to an ROI-driven execution plan.

• Can you tailor the keynote to our industry?

  Yes. Brandon tailors examples and use-case patterns to your context (e.g., services, finance, healthcare, industrial, logistics). For deeper tailoring, a short discovery process is used.

• Can you tailor content to our company’s strategy and priorities?

  Yes—especially for leadership offsites and workshops. Expect a brief discovery process and access to high-level context (priorities, constraints, operating model, and current AI maturity).

Formats and what to choose

• What keynote formats do you offer?

  45–60 minutes: keynote

  60–90 minutes: keynote + Q&A

  90–180 minutes: executive workshop (interactive)

  Offsite module: keynote + working session + outputs

• What’s the difference between a keynote and a workshop?

A keynote creates alignment and urgency with practical frameworks. A workshop produces outputs (use-case shortlist, ROI model assumptions, governance decisions, adoption plan).

• What format is best for CEO groups?

Typically 45–60 minutes + Q&A. CEO groups value concise frameworks, real-world patterns, and a clear executive “next steps” playbook.

• What format is best for leadership offsites?

A 90–180 minute workshop or an offsite module is best because you can translate ideas into decisions and a plan.

Audience fit and positioning

• Who is Brandon’s ideal audience?

  CEOs, founders, boards, and executive teams

  PE operating partners and portfolio leaders

  Enterprise leaders responsible for transformation, operations, or growth

• Is this talk only for companies already doing AI?

No. It works for leaders who are early, midstream, or scaling—because the content focuses on decision-making, prioritization, and adoption mechanics.

• What if our audience is skeptical about AI?

That’s common. The content is built to earn trust by focusing on business outcomes, constraints, and realistic adoption—not hype.

Logistics and AV

• What AV do you require for an in-person keynote?

Baseline: Wireless lav mic or handheld mic, Confidence monitor (preferred), HDMI or clicker support, Audio output for any short clips (optional)

• Do you use slides?

Yes, typically. Slides are crisp and executive-friendly (frameworks, models, checklists). For some rooms, Brandon can deliver with minimal slides and also have videos and demos that you mix in depending on the audience.

• Can you present virtually?

Yes. Virtual sessions work best with: Strong moderator, Tight agenda, Q&A or live polling

• Will you share slides with attendees?

Usually Brandon shares selected frameworks or a summary handout. Full slide sharing depends on the event and content sensitivity.

Content, confidentiality, and recording

• Can we record the keynote?

Usually yes—just confirm in advance. Some content may be modified depending on whether it’s recorded or distributed publicly.

• Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, reasonable NDAs are fine—especially for workshops or internal leadership sessions.

• Can you avoid mentioning specific client names or sensitive examples?

Yes. Brandon can keep examples anonymized and focus on patterns, frameworks, and outcomes.
