How to turn a great AI keynote into lasting client value

The Opportunity

The keynote is the
beginning, not the end.

🎯

Help clients go further

Clients who are energised by a keynote often need more. Now there is a clear path to deliver it.

📈

Increase revenue per booking

Pre-scoped follow-on products worth 2–5× the keynote fee, with no extra scoping required from bookers.

🤝

Deepen client relationships

Clients see Andrew as a strategic adviser, not just a speaker. That means repeat bookings and referrals.

🏆

Differentiate the bureau

Keynote plus consulting is hard to replicate. This is a genuine first-mover advantage for Speakers Corner.

Boardroom Session

What It Is

An intimate, off-the-record 2-hour session for a board or senior leadership team (max 12 people). Designed as a strategic conversation, not another presentation. Confidential, candid and action-oriented.

Who It's For

Boards and ExCos who need a serious AI conversation, not another keynote. Often triggered when the CEO or chairman asks "what are we doing about AI?" and the team needs clarity fast.

Structure

20 min scene-setting by Andrew → 90 min facilitated discussion → 10 min summary of agreed actions. No slides presented to the group. Andrew facilitates; the board does the thinking.

Outcomes

Clarity on strategic priorities. Honest assessment of competitive threats and opportunities. An agreed set of immediate next steps that the board owns and can act on.

Pricing

Keynote fee × 1.5

Priced at the standard market rate for additional time above a keynote. Some clients book this before the keynote as a pre-brief for the board.
