Book a Speaker
From keynote stages to classroom chairs — we have the right presenter for your event. All engagements are tailored to the audience, not repurposed from the last one.
Keynote
Rob Buchwald — AI as of Today
Rob doesn't recycle last year's deck. Every keynote is built around what AI can actually do on the day he takes the stage — current models, current capabilities, current implications. No hype, no fear-mongering. Just an honest picture of where things stand and what your audience should do about it.
Ideal forConferences, association events, leadership summits, chamber gatherings
Educational Presenter
Learning That Sticks
Structured, hands-on AI education sessions for teams, classrooms, and professional development programs. Built for real comprehension, not surface-level familiarity. Participants leave knowing how to use AI — not just that it exists.
Ideal forCorporate training days, workforce development programs, continuing education
Motivational
From Fear to Forward
AI disruption is real. So is the opportunity. These sessions meet audiences where they are — whether they're anxious, skeptical, or just confused — and help them reframe AI as something they can navigate and use with confidence.
Ideal forAll-hands meetings, employee kickoffs, community events, town halls
STEM
AI Education for the Next Generation
Age-appropriate, engaging, and honest AI literacy for students at every level. From middle school curiosity to university depth — helping young Ohioans understand what AI is, how it works, and how to build skills that will matter.
Ideal forK–12 classrooms, universities, STEM nights, career fairs, youth programs
