Speaking

I speak regularly with global security and risk audiences about AI, including hands-on training for Fortune 500 teams putting it into practice. I focus on practical applications and steer clear of hype and speculation. Recent talks include keynotes, fireside interviews, panels and bespoke training sessions.

Some of my upcoming events are listed below, and you can also check Factal's AI events page. If you're organizing an event, please get in touch and learn more about my background on the about page.

Upcoming events

• Workshop: A practical guide to verifying AIAugust 25th and 26th, 2026

  How do you know AI is right? This Factal training workshop will give security professionals practical tactics and real-world examples to verify AI responses. Learn about validating sources, spotting common errors and using AI to double-check its own work. Free to all attendees. Register for one of the two identical, hour-long sessions here: August 25th and August 26th.

• Global Security Briefingevery two weeks

  I make routine appearances in the Global Security Briefing, a webinar co-hosted by Factal and Emergent Risk International. The "GSB" began in the first days of COVID, and has since grown into the largest virtual event of its kind in the industry. Factal editors and ERI analysts dissect the biggest geopolitical events of the day, and I typically speak about AI. Make sure you register to attend (it's free).
