Example of keynote totally customised for Google's global partners in digital marketing 

Hundreds of global corporations have booked Patrick Dixon as a Futurist keynote speaker for their most important events.  Here are some of the many reasons why...

Organising a corporate event can be an exciting but stressful process. Careers are often made or broken in the process.  And every year, people expect your biggest and most important corporate events to be even better than last time.

Events are a great opportunity to share vision, shape strategy, drive growth, deliver change, transform thinking and motivate teams.

The stakes are very high to get it right

Here is a keynote to 4,500 event organisers in Las Vegas.  Discover the secrets of every world class speaker and of every high-impact corporate event.  You will see some great visual illusions / interactions with a gigantic screen.

The greatest cost is usually the time of those who attend.

The greatest risk is a programme that fails to fire up participants.  Too many internal speakers or external speakers who are average performers.

Listening to a really great speaker is like watching a solo performance by a virtuoso musician, or by one of the world’s most talented stage actors.  You can hear a pin drop, with total intense attention.  Time stands still.  You will talk about this moment for years to come.  You need to be right there, to breathe the same air – the audience experience cannot be captured fully on camera.

And if the content is powerful, your future will be changed.

All great speakers touch mind and emotion.  Very few people know how to involve a large audience in a personal way.  Working an audience is an art rather than a science. Great ideas, insights or data slides are not enough.  It’s all about how the story is told.  Pure magic at best – embarrassing nightmare at worst.
