James Taylor MBA · FRSA is an internationally recognised keynote speaker on creativity, innovation, and artificial intelligence — not to be confused with the American singer-songwriter. Over 20+ years he has delivered 3,000+ keynotes across 50+ countries for Fortune 500 brands including Apple, Cisco, Deloitte, Accenture, Visa and McDonald's, and has been the subject of a 30-minute BBC documentary.
Orlando welcomes some of the largest corporate conventions and association congresses in North America, and the audiences that fill its ballrooms expect more than a generic motivational talk. James began his career managing high-profile rock stars and now advises CEOs, entrepreneurs, governments and leaders on how to design innovative organisations, unlock creative potential, and adapt to change. As host of multiple global summits he has personally interviewed over 750 of the world's leading creative minds — insight he brings to Orlando stages for sales kick-offs, annual conferences and leadership meetings alike.
He is the author of the bestselling book SuperCreativity: Augmenting Human Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, and tailors every keynote speaking engagement to the specific challenges facing your audience — making him a natural fit for Orlando's corporate conventions, association conferences and leadership summits across hospitality, technology, healthcare, finance and Central Florida's simulation and training sector.

Orlando is one of the world's busiest meetings, convention and incentive-travel destinations — anchored by the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive, ringed by resort hotels with hundreds of thousands of square feet of meeting space, and backed by a hospitality industry built around world-class guest experiences. Add year-round sunshine, championship golf and the theme parks on the doorstep, and it is easy to see why so many companies choose Orlando to reward top performers and stage flagship conferences. James designs keynotes that fit naturally into these itineraries: inspiring enough to feel like a reward, substantial enough to send delegates home with ideas they can act on.
Whether you are gathering top sales performers at a resort near Walt Disney World, or hosting a multi-day annual conference at the Orange County Convention Center, James works with your programme — keeping the energy high, the content relevant, and the experience memorable for an audience that expects the very best.

James also hosted a small group presentation for the G3 Company Sales Meeting earlier in the year that was also great."Kristi Kawana — Events & Marketing Director, B2B Marketing Exchange Conference / G3 Communications
