An AI keynote speaker for rooms that matter

Booking an AI speaker is easy; booking one who has helped write the rules is rarer. Matthew Blakemore speaks on artificial intelligence strategy, governance and regulation from the inside: he is one of four global sub-editors of ISO/IEC 8183, the international standard for the AI data life cycle, and a contributor to the EU AI Office’s General-Purpose AI Code of Practice. That work gives every keynote a grounding that audiences notice, whether the room is a board of directors, a bank’s leadership team or a two-thousand-seat conference hall.

He has delivered more than 250 keynotes, panels and briefings in over 20 countries, at stages including Web Summit, World Summit AI, the Tallinn Digital Summit and TEDx. Based in London and travelling worldwide, he rebuilds every talk for the audience in front of it, from AI strategy for executives to copyright and creativity for the media industry.
