AI for Professional Speakers: From Better Speeches to New Business Models

Presented by Stephen Shapiro, CSP, CPAE

Wednesday, October 21 | 6:30–7:30 PM

AI Can Do More Than Write Your Social Media Posts

AI is changing what's possible for professional speakers—but its potential goes far beyond generating social media posts and presentation outlines.

Join Stephen Shapiro, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame speaker and innovation expert, for a practical session exploring four ways he is using AI to improve his presentations, strengthen client relationships, expand his intellectual property, and create new sources of value.

What You'll Discover

1. Turn Your Phone into the World's Best Speech Coach

Most speakers know what they said on stage. But do you know exactly how you used your time?

Stephen will demonstrate how he uses a simple phone recording and AI to analyze his presentations—from the length of individual stories to pacing and timing. Think of it as having a speech coach with a stopwatch that never misses a second.

2. Engage Clients Before You Ever Step on Stage

Some of the best opportunities to create value happen before the event.

Discover how AI can support the sales and pre-event process by helping you better understand your clients, explore their challenges, and create meaningful interactions before you ever walk into the room.

The result goes beyond customization—it can help deepen the client relationship from the very beginning.

3. Turn Your Intellectual Property into Interactive Experiences

Your ideas don't have to live only in books, speeches, and frameworks.

Stephen will show how AI can help transform intellectual property into interactive apps, assessments, and tools without requiring a software development team or a massive investment.

These experiences can help audiences interact with your ideas while creating new opportunities to demonstrate your expertise.

4. Go Beyond the Speech with Enterprise-Level Solutions

AI can help speakers expand beyond the traditional keynote model.

Stephen will share how he transformed intellectual property from an interactive keynote experience into an enterprise platform. Participants engage with the technology during an event, while organizations can gain additional insights about their teams afterward.

AI Isn't Replacing the Speaker—It's Expanding What's Possible

This session isn't about replacing what professional speakers do with AI.

It's about using AI to make what you already do more valuable.

You'll leave with practical ideas you can experiment with immediately and a fresh perspective on what becomes possible when AI becomes more than just a writing assistant.
