JAMES TAYLOR - VIRTUAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER
With global travel curtailed the top virtual keynote speakers have never been more in-demand but selecting the right one can be a challenge. Done well, virtual meetings and events can be a highly effective way to inspire, inform and educate your people. However we’ve all had to sit through those rather long and boring virtual meetings, conferences, summits, webinars and events which quite frankly deliver a very low return on investment in terms of time and money. As a virtual keynote speaker on business creativity, innovation and artificial intelligence I’ve had the pleasure to deliver virtual keynotes for clients including CISCO, EY, Accenture, Cisco, stc, Red Hat, TATA and VISA.
VIRTUAL EMCEE FOR:
- Virtual Conferences
- Virtual Fireside Chats

Done well, virtual conferences, meetings and events can be a highly effective way to inspire, inform and educate your clients, prospects and employees. However we’ve all had to sit through those rather long and boring virtual conferences, summits, webinars and events which quite frankly deliver a very low return on investment in terms of time and money.
