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.
Las Vegas hosts more trade shows and association conferences than any other city in North America — from CES at the Las Vegas Convention Center to hundreds of annual conventions held across the Strip's resort campuses. James has spent his career at exactly that intersection of scale and substance: he began managing high-profile rock stars before advising CEOs, entrepreneurs, and government leaders on how to design innovative organisations and adapt to relentless technological change. As host of multiple global summits, he has personally interviewed over 750 of the world's leading creative minds — a perspective that translates naturally to a Las Vegas convention floor, where innovation is the main event.
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 the trade shows, association conferences, and corporate incentive programmes that make Las Vegas America's convention capital.

Las Vegas is North America's largest trade-show and convention destination — home to CES, hundreds of major association conferences, and a concentration of purpose-built meeting space unmatched anywhere in the country. From the Las Vegas Convention Center's millions of square feet of exhibit space to the resort-scale meeting campuses along the Strip, the city is engineered for events at scale. James designs keynotes that fit naturally into that environment: substantial enough to justify a plenary slot on a major conference agenda, energetic enough to open or close a general session in front of thousands.
Whether you're gathering delegates for an association's annual convention at the Las Vegas Convention Center or hosting an executive incentive programme at a Strip resort, James works with your programme's format and timeline — coordinating around exhibit-hall schedules, breakout tracks, and general sessions so the keynote becomes the moment attendees talk about after they've flown home.
"James brought real substance to a meetings-industry audience. His thinking on human-AI collaboration is exactly the kind of forward-looking perspective our members need as they reimagine the future of events."Jessie States — Head of Meeting Innovation, Meeting Professionals International (MPI)
