Business Transformation Keynotes · AI as the Catalyst
I help busy business owners separate signal from noise, so they know what to ignore, what to try, and where to start. Instead of another inspirational AI keynote, your audience leaves with practical workflows they can use immediately.
On Stage · Small Business Show Panel
I don't sell AI. I sell relief, clarity, and implementation, to the rooms that need them most.
Why event planners book me
Your audience doesn't need another AI demo. They need answers to the questions they're actually asking. That's exactly what I deliver, no hype, no fear, no generic prompt-engineering session. Just practical AI they can use on Monday morning.
My philosophy
Because AI changes every week. Good business decisions don't. Every keynote helps your audience understand:
That's Signal > Noise.
Speaking topics & audiences
Pick the one that fits your audience, or we'll build a custom version on our planning call.
Perfect for: entrepreneurs · small-business conferences · chambers · professional associations
Where AI actually creates ROI for a small business, the first workflows worth automating, and what to leave human. Ends with a live build, so the room sees exactly how to start.
Your audience learns
Perfect for: leaders overwhelmed by AI · mixed-industry audiences · association keynotes
The signal-from-noise talk. What's real, what's marketing, and what actually matters for a business owner deciding where to spend their attention this year.
Your audience learns
Perfect for: founder meetups · service-business conferences · owner cohorts
Your audience doesn't need 100 prompts. They need one workflow that saves five hours every week. This talk shows them how to find it, build it, and keep it running.

About Alice
I spent two decades helping organizations improve operations before AI became mainstream. That's why I don't see AI as a technology problem. I see it as a business problem. Technology only creates ROI when people actually use it.

For event organizers
My fee varies by format, audience size, and travel. Keynotes start at $3,500. Workshop keynotes and half-day trainings start at $5,000. Full-day leadership intensives start at $9,500. Reach out and I'll send a custom quote within 48 hours.
I'm based in Toronto, Canada. I travel across Canada and the United States for half-day or larger engagements, travel is billed separately at cost (economy air + one night hotel). For 45-min keynotes I usually prefer virtual unless your event is in Ontario or a flight-hub city.
Always. Every booking includes a 30-minute planning call where we tailor the opening story, industry examples, live-demo use case, and Q&A focus to your specific audience. You're not getting the same canned deck I gave last month.
HDMI or USB-C connection to the main screen, a lav mic (preferred) or handheld, reliable internet (I do live AI demos, this matters), a confidence monitor if possible, and a table nearby for my laptop. I bring my own clicker.
You run a post-event attendee survey (I'll provide the template). If the weighted average rating on "How valuable was this session?" comes in below 4.5/5, you pay nothing. No negotiation. No fine print. I've never had to honor it, but it's real.
For a custom keynote: ideally 6–8 weeks. For a workshop or half-day: 8–10 weeks. Can I pull off a 2-week turnaround? Sometimes, but custom content quality drops, so I only recommend it for audiences where my standard talks already fit.
Yes, internal re-use by your organization or attendees is included. Public distribution (YouTube, podcast clipping, paid replay events) is negotiated separately and usually priced as an add-on to the fee.
Within 48 hours you get: availability confirmation, a custom quote, and a short discovery call booked. If we're a fit, a contract lands within another 48 hours. Then we move to the planning call 3–4 weeks before the event to nail the content.
Tell me about your event and I'll personally reply within 24 hours with the speaker kit and 2-3 date options that fit your timeline.
