Insurance · In the room
Make risk visible. Make readiness actionable.
Ian brings executive research, stage experience and practical framing to insurance audiences navigating rapid operational change.

Treat readiness as an operating question
The insurance AI conversation is not only about available systems. It is also about whether leaders, teams and organizational practices are aligned well enough to make and execute sound choices.
Bring independent research into the session
Ian's research is fed by annual interviews with scientists, operators, founders, regulators and investors. The keynote draws on that evidence without making unverified claims about insurance clients or outcomes.
Measure leadership perspectives
A customized Future Readiness Score captures how the participating group sees its organization. Revealed live, it focuses the session on real areas of alignment and disagreement.
Create a practical continuation
The score can lead into a facilitated workshop, written intelligence report and ninety-day plan. This gives the event a direct connection to subsequent leadership planning.
Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers
How much does it cost to hire an AI keynote speaker?
Fees for established AI keynote speakers typically range from $15,000 to $50,000 depending on format, location and rights. Send the insurance event date and budget range for a direct answer within one business day.
How far in advance should we book?
Insurance event preparation benefits from time to understand the audience, shape the brief and complete the readiness assessment. Enquire once the date enters planning.
What is the difference between a keynote and a workshop?
The insurance keynote gives the larger audience a common readiness frame. The workshop uses facilitated discussion to help a smaller leadership group turn its score into ranked action.
Will the speaker tailor content to our industry?
Yes. Insurance context, the organizer call and audience survey shape the keynote, while the Future Readiness Score adds evidence specific to the participating organization.
What does the audience receive afterwards?
An assessment-led insurance session produces a written intelligence report and a ninety-day plan connected to the room's collective findings.
Does the speaker present virtually?
Virtual insurance events can be considered. Share the platform, audience roles, geography and any content-access requirements with the availability request.
