How to Find a Good AI Speaker for Your Event

Choosing an AI speaker is harder today than it was a year ago. Every week a new “AI expert” appears. Most talk about tools. Few deliver real impact. If you want your event to stand out, you need someone who can explain AI in practical terms and move a room from curiosity to action.

Here is a simple way to find the right speaker and what to look for before you book.

Where to look

1. Event platforms
Search sites that already host business speakers.
Look for categories like AI, digital transformation, leadership, innovation.
You will get a shortlist fast.

2. LinkedIn
Search using terms such as “AI keynote speaker”, “AI leadership speaker”, “AI innovation keynote”.
Look at engagement on their posts. High engagement often signals they can communicate clearly.

3. Conference agendas
Check events similar to yours.
Look at who spoke last year and who is speaking this year.
If a speaker appears at multiple business events, it is usually a sign that they deliver value.

4. Direct recommendations
Ask other event organizers or senior leaders in your network.
Personal references often surface the strongest speakers.

What to look for

1. Experience with real teams
A good AI speaker works with companies, not just slides.
They can show you how AI changes alignment, decision making, and growth.
They talk about results. Not hype.

2. Simple explanations
AI can feel complicated.
A good speaker makes it clear. Short sentences. Practical examples.
The audience should leave with ideas they can use the same day.

3. A point of view
Avoid generic “future of AI” talks.
Look for a speaker with a defined stance on how to work with AI.
The best speakers teach a method or a model you can follow.

4. Understanding of leadership
Most companies do not need more AI tools.
They need better ways to align teams and build new ideas.
A strong AI speaker connects AI with leadership, culture, and growth.

5. Measurable outcomes
Ask what results people usually see after the keynote.
Good speakers focus on impact. Not inspiration alone.

What makes a great AI speaker today

AI speakers who stand out in 2025 have three traits.

They connect AI with strategy
Not “10 tools to try”. Instead, how AI helps teams set clearer goals and make smarter choices.

They use AI as a creative partner
They show how AI can challenge assumptions and unlock better ideas.
Not as an oracle. As a teammate.

They give the audience something to do
A model. A checklist. A small experiment.
Something practical that moves the room toward action.

A speaker who works this way

At this point many readers want a concrete example of what this looks like in practice. One speaker whose work fits the criteria is Bryan Cassady, an AI entrepreneur, professor, and international keynote speaker. He has trained over 40,000 leaders and built 11 companies across Europe and the US. His keynotes focus on outcomes first and systems next. The message is simple. AI is not here to be admired. It is here to be used.

Bryan’s talks blend personal stories, clear methods, and high energy delivery. He uses TRUE NORTH goal setting and the SPARKS iteration loop to help teams move from hype to measurable results. Many events pair his keynote with a short workshop where teams define priorities and build practical AI workflows in hours. Not months.

If your event needs someone who can cut through the noise and leave the audience ready to act, his approach is a strong fit.
