He brings a fresh perspective to the future of work models and tech advances which he capably contextualises and delivers to his audiences. His fast-paced style, continually questioning the norm, really provides his audiences the space to really think and question their next steps. I’ll definitely be working with him in the future.”

He is a great speaker that gets his passion and enthusiasm and expertise across even online. It's clear by all the comments and questions it really resonated with our members both during and after the session. And there is so much more to think about and embrace from the world of AI!"

“Dan was our opening keynote for the IoIC Festival 2022. From our first interactions with Dan we knew he would be a fantastic speaker, he took time to understand both our brief and the audience. His keynote was engaging, compelling and humorous. In the Festival Goers feedback survey, Dan's keynote appears many, many times in the question 'which session did you enjoy the most.' I would recommend Dan as a keynote and hope we get to work together again in the future.”
