Is the content appropriate for non‑technical audiences? What about technical teams?
Yes.

But he can also harness his three decades of technology leadership to bring next‑level thinking for technical teams.
What outcomes should we expect for our audience?
Attendees leave with a roadmap for a successful AI future. Dan delivers plain‑English clarity, realistic guardrails, and actionable, near‑term tactics to boost productivity, collaboration, and performance… without the hype.
What kinds of events does Dan speak at?
Conferences, customer events, SKOs, leadership offsites, association meetings, and more; Dan’s experience and practical leadership of real teams in an array of industries gives him the ability to bring value to a wide range of vertical events from CFO strategy to legal, manufacturing, agriculture, cybersecurity, real estate, and many more.
Does Dan offer workshops or interactive sessions in addition to keynotes?
Yes. His keynotes include creatively-interactive activities, his Fireside chats and open Q&A breakouts are diversely informative and engaging, and he also delivers workshops when organizations want to go deeper.
How long are the sessions?
The most typical formats are 45‑ to 60‑minute keynotes (with 15 to 45 minutes of Q&A). Additionally, 90‑ to 180‑minute extended sessions; half‑day workshops are available on request. (You can refine these exact durations.)
What industries has Dan worked with recently?
Examples on the site include financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, real estate, legal services, cybersecurity, and more—he delivers worldwide.
What A/V setup does Dan need?
Dan builds slides in 16:9 (3840×2160) format in Apple Keynote. However, Dan will always provide PPT files in advance to bring consistency to the AV team or to allow for running from a event master deck. Videos with sound will be embedded; no internet needed. For audio, Dan prefers a wireless lav/countryman mic and a wireless clicker. Confidence monitor is appreciated, but not required. When necessary, Dan can present from his M4 MacBook Pro via native HDMI.
Can we receive slides in advance?
Dan will provide a PowerPoint export approximately 4 days before the event. Dan will attempt to comply with any requests for legal compliance (logo removal, addition of disclaimer, etc). The AI landscape is changing often and every one of Dan’s presentations are customized, so please give Dan as much time as possible to research, build, rehearse, and iterate with his slides.
Does Dan present virtually or in hybrid settings?
Yes. However, to improve audience focus, engagement, and keynote interactivity, Dan strongly encourages live, in-person engagements. Virtual and hybrid are available at your request and Dan will do his best to be engaging enough to combat the post-COVID multi-tasking habits many workers have inadvertently developed.
Does Dan speak internationally?
Yes. He delivers AI & innovation keynotes worldwide. Please inquire for Dan’s international keynote fee ratecard.

What’s Reinvention Labs?
Reinvention Labs is Dan’s AI education & research firm focused on reinventing how teams work. This rapidly growing team is translating macro tech shifts like Artificial Intelligence and Robotics into practical, day‑one behaviors and tools.
What does Dan need from us to tailor the talk?
A short discovery call, audience profile (roles, AI maturity, priorities), a few real workflows/use cases, and any risk/compliance guardrails will ensure that Dan will meet your audience “where they are.”
Do you provide post‑event materials or ongoing support?
