The Approach
Practical, sourced, and free of hype.
Most AI talks are either vendor demos or warnings about the future. Audiences leave impressed or worried, and rarely with anything they can do the next day. Our talks are built the other way around: what is actually working in businesses like the ones in the room, what it costs, what can go wrong, and one or two things to try this week.
Every talk is given by our founder, the same senior consultant who does the client work, so examples come from the day-to-day practice of AI adoption and search visibility rather than from a slide library. Statistics are cited to primary sources, and content is updated for each event because the tools change monthly.
Topics
Talks we can tailor to your audience.
AI for the rest of us: what small and mid-sized businesses should actually do
A plain-English look at where AI is saving real hours in Canadian businesses today, where it is still hype, and how to pick a first workflow. Draws on Statistics Canada adoption data and the patterns that separate teams that adopt AI from teams that buy licences.

FAQ
Common questions from event organizers.
Our founder, the senior consultant who does the client work in AI adoption and SEO. A speaker bio and headshot are shared with organizers once a date is being discussed.
Fees are quoted per event and depend on the format, how much the content needs to be tailored, and travel. Hands-on workshops follow the pricing on our workshops page. Ask about community rates for non-profits and business associations.
Yes. In-person talks in Metro Vancouver are straightforward, events elsewhere in Canada are possible with travel costs covered, and virtual talks work well for distributed teams and online conferences.
Yes, and it usually should be. Examples, tools, and the risks worth discussing differ a lot between, say, a law society audience, a retail association, and a tech meetup. We ask a few questions about the audience up front and adjust the content accordingly.
No sales pitch is built into the content. The goal is that attendees leave with something useful. Contact details are shared at the end for anyone who wants to follow up.
