A different kind of keynote
Most AI keynotes finish when the applause does. Dan's begins there.
Dan approaches AI like an educator: making complex ideas understandable without losing sight of the people who have to live and work with them. He leaves the room with clarity about what to do next, who should own it and what could get in the way.
Who books Dan: schools and trusts, colleges and universities, districts and education systems, education conferences, leadership teams and companies, and councils and public bodies, in person and online, in the UK and worldwide.
