Technology remains a hot-button topic on the speaking circuit, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. As an industry that is built upon principles of innovation and improvement, it sees rapid trend cycling and proves inaccessible to most outsiders. 

Dialing down within this sphere, we have seen increased interest in cybersecurity and AI keynote speakers. Within our own organization we’re doubling down on efforts to protect our data, and we recommend everyone is just as proactive when it comes to issues of security, as hackers are advancing and creating new tools at the same breakneck pace developers build new tools to keep them out.

Rapid developments in AI can be equally impossible to keep up with, with the past few years seeing widespread adoption of AI writing programs by members of the general public. But AI is so much more than Jasper and ChatGPT; it offers potential solutions to pain points in transportation, education, and healthcare.  

Partnering with new speakers in the field and bringing them to wider audiences is one of BigSpeak’s missions as a bureau, and while each speaker we present is an expert in their own right,  we believe the three below are truly ones to watch in the coming years.

We have recently added Big Data expert Alicia Asin to our roster. An expert on IoT, she possesses deep insights into data mining and the importance of online privacy in the new era, and balances addressing the risks that come with developing technology while also investigating the opportunities for sustainability offered by new programs and projects.

Our new exclusive speaker Zack Kass is a top-booked AI expert and the former Head of GTM for OpenAI. With 14 years of experience in the field of emerging technology, he’s an excellent resource for leaders hoping to demystify AI and prepare for the coming tech revolution. A techno-optimist, he also provides a counterpoint to the prevailing cynical attitudes towards technology, believing firmly in the power of AI to improve the human condition. And we could all use a little of that optimist right now.

Our third fresh addition Rachel Wilson is a former NSA Senior Executive, and the current Head of Wealth Management Data Security and Infrastructure Risk at Morgan Stanley. Overseeing the critical infrastructure of the program, she makes use of her past experience driving innovation in authentication technology, and works both on the technical and business sides of the operation. Her background as a manager has also given her insight into advising leaders that lends itself very well to her work as a public keynote speaker and educator.
