Speakers running agents in production — guardrails and all. Real prices upfront, shortlist in 24 hours.
The shift from copilots to autonomous agents is the most consequential change in enterprise AI since ChatGPT — and most audiences are being sold a fantasy version of it. We curate speakers who explain what agentic AI actually is: software that plans, uses tools, and takes multi-step action, with a human somewhere in the loop.
The agentic AI conversation is drowning in demoware. A slick two-minute demo of an agent booking a trip tells you nothing about ten thousand real transactions with real edge cases. Our speakers have wired agents into production workflows — so they can speak honestly about reliability, guardrails, and where agents still fall over.
We serve operations leaders, automation and shared-services teams, CIOs and their centers of excellence, and conference organizers who need a grounded, deployable view of autonomous AI and intelligent automation — not another keynote promising that agents will run the whole company by Tuesday. Deployable beats dazzling.
Someone who has run agents in production.
Not demoware. These speakers have built agent systems and lived their failure modes — booked to give you the deployable truth, priced upfront, shortlisted in 24 hours.
Agents change the automation calculus: they handle the ambiguity that used to require a human. Your 2026 roadmap needs that math.
A 95%-accurate agent can be worse than none if the 5% goes unmonitored. Reliability is the bottleneck.
Once agents do multi-step work, the real question becomes redesigning teams around a digital workforce.
Automation ROI is concentrated — a handful of workflows pay back. Don't boil the ocean.

Five questions every organizer asks — tap one.
A general futurist maps the landscape; an agentic AI specialist goes deep on autonomous systems — tool use, orchestration, reliability, and the operational reality of deploying agents in production. For an operations or automation audience, the specialist will land far better. Look for someone who has actually shipped agent systems, not just recorded demos of them.
In most organizations it is a complement, at least for now — deterministic RPA still wins for stable, high-volume, rules-based tasks, while agents shine where judgment and ambiguity used to require a person. A good speaker will be honest about this rather than telling you to rip out everything you have. Look for someone fluent in both worlds.
These audiences are technical and rightly skeptical, so the strongest format is usually a keynote paired with a working session. Ask the speaker to show real deployments — including where agents failed and what they did about it. Honest discussion of failure modes builds more credibility with this crowd than a flawless highlight reel.
Read the speaker's recent writing and watch a full talk, not a clip. The tell is balance: credible speakers spend as much time on guardrails, evaluation, and where agents break as they do on what agents can do. If every example is a triumph and nothing ever fails, you are looking at a marketing deck, not a practitioner.
Because this is a fast-moving frontier, genuine practitioner-speakers are in high demand and fees vary widely by profile and format. Our platform shows each speaker's fee range transparently, with a flat 17.5% platform fee and no hidden markups, so you can match the engagement to your budget before you commit.

We individually check identity, real work, and stage skill. Every speaker. No exceptions.
Yes — this is a specific thing we screen for. The rare, valuable profile speaks to agent architecture and reliability while also addressing how work, teams, and roles get redesigned around automation. We vet for both.
Many practitioner-speakers offer a keynote-plus-workshop format — a keynote to align the room, then a working session to pressure-test your specific use cases. Tell us your goals and we'll match accordingly.
Yes. As agents take on consequential actions, governance is its own topic — permissions, guardrails, evaluation, human oversight, and accountability. We can prioritize speakers who lead with responsible deployment.
Yes. Most of our speakers offer virtual and hybrid keynote and workshop formats, which work particularly well for distributed operations and technology teams.
