We got Dan to talk about the future of work and AI for our conference for 400 or so technology professionals. His talk was one of the most talked about afterwards and highly entertaining as well as thought provoking. His presentation style was really different and stood out. And he was a joy to work with.

Dan recently spoke at the THINK Digital Forum and covered a wide range of topics on the theme of the future of work. He had a really engaging way of explaining complex concepts in simple terms which made the session both high in energy and information rich. I would highly recommend his talks about AI and the future of work to anyone or any organisation looking to get a high energy trainer and public speaker.
