Keynote Topics

The “virtualization” of our world has greatly accelerated. Work from home, telemedicine, virtual shopping, distance learning, socializing, exercise: this trend alone will impact every sector of the economy.  But of course there is much more.

Consumers will emerge with a new desire for security and control, yet lagging incomes will change what they can afford.  The public will continue to seek authoritative information sources, with a new focus on wellness. 

Never before has management’s life been so…interesting.  Business, government and society are all creating a vast new digital infrastructure, from smart sensors and cognitive computing to wearable computers, extended social networks and virtual workplaces.

Cognitive computing is the latest and most potent expression of artificial intelligence.   Software and robots can now learn from experience and then reason and act upon information–often coming up with insights that humans might not reach. 

Because they are “cloud-based”, these powerful thinking tools will be accessible even to small organizations and individuals from Michael Rogers.

For this popular speech, Michael Rogers who is also a best-selling science fiction writer does an interview to learn more about your business, practice or discipline.

He then creates a realistic scenario of what your profession or business may be like in the late Twenties. 

Sometimes it seems as if society has fast-forwarded five years in the last five months: far more of our shopping, work and schooling now happens online, and post-COVID, not everything will go back. 

In addition, after so much uncertainty, consumers will seek security, safety, trusted relationships and reliable information.

The future is bright for medicine: telemedicine, wellness monitors, personal genomics, electronic health records, and more.

Plus: “big data” and smart computers will choose the best and most efficient treatment options based on actual outcomes. 

All this progress will come with caveats, of course: how do we keep the human element in healthcare? 

What are the privacy implications of personal genomic data? 

Over the next decade, more and more of our work, what we care about and how we interact with others will involve the Internet, intelligent computers and the Internet of Things.

If you think that’s already happened…just listen to what Michael Rogers predicts is next.

We’re all educators either as professional teachers, or as managers, team leaders, mentors, or parents. In the future Michael Rogers believes we will be permanent students as well.

The online world represents a powerful opportunity for education to reach a wider, more diverse audience. 

But it’s also a challenge to the future of both teachers and campuses.

Michael Rogers is a futurist keynote speaker, for audiences ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, from universities and government agencies to the general public.

Michael is also expert in virtual presentations, streaming from New York City in full HD on a fiberoptic network.

For over twenty years, he has provided a powerful catalyst for organizations to create a vision of the future and the will to innovate. As a futurist keynote speaker, he delivers a dynamic and entertaining vision of change, blending technology, economics, demographics, culture and human nature.

Michael Rogers brings real business experience and a deep understanding of technology. He adds the keen eye of an investigative journalist and the story-telling skills of a best-selling novelist. He understands how business operates, and knows the difference between science fiction and useful forecasting.

Further worked as a futurist in sectors ranging from finance, marketing, and healthcare to media, information technology, consumer goods and more. Michael customizes his presentations to best fit both the audience and the goals of the event.

For ten years Michael Rogers was vice president of The Washington Post Company’s new media division, guiding both the newspaper and its sister publication Newsweek into the new century, as well as serving as editor and general manager of Newsweek.com where he won the Distinguished Online Service award from the National Press Club for coverage of 9/11.

His work in interactive media ranges from early ground-breaking projects for LucasFilm and Apple to dozens of Internet ventures. Michael Rogers has received patents for multimedia storytelling techniques, and is listed in Who’s Who in Science and Engineering. In 2007 he was named to the Magazine Industry Digital Hall of Fame, and in 2009 he received the World Technology Network Award for Lifetime Achievement in Media and Journalism.

Rogers recently completed two years as futurist-in-residence for The New York Times and is a columnist for NBC.com. He is also a best-selling novelist whose fiction explores the human impact of technology. He lives in New York City where he works on book and television projects.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
