Good to know
Questions organisers ask before booking
What do you speak about?
AI and AI agents as they are actually landing in the Gulf, the future of work, storytelling that moves people, and leading through change — built around the audience in front of me, with examples from nineteen years in Gulf technology and from national campaigns.
Arabic or English?
Both. Arabic for Arab audiences, English for international ones, and bilingual rooms where the talk runs in one language and the questions arrive in the other.
Which formats do you take?
Keynote, fireside conversation, panel moderation, and a half-day workshop for teams who would rather leave with something built than with notes.
Do you travel outside the UAE?
Yes — regularly across the GCC, and further for the right stage. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately.
What does a keynote cost?
It depends on the format, the preparation, the travel and whether the talk is filmed or reused afterwards. Send the date, the audience and the slot length and a proposal comes back within 48 hours.
What do you need from the organiser?
Who is in the room and what they already know, the one thing you want them to leave with, the slot length, the stage language, and whether you need filming or reuse rights.
