Topics, sessions and talks

Arguments For Humans (About AI)
Christiane Vejlø examines what role humans will play in a future shaped by intelligent machines. As artificial intelligence writes, codes, diagnoses, and creates, she explores whether creativity, empathy, and judgement remain uniquely human strengths. Drawing on research, philosophy, and practical examples from business and public life, she reframes the AI debate with clarity and wit, offering a grounded perspective on how organisations can champion human value alongside technological progress.
AI And The Future Of Work
Christiane Vejlø explores how AI is reshaping professional identity, leadership, and workplace culture. Addressing themes such as automation anxiety, AI shame, innovation fatigue, and skills development, she highlights the dilemmas emerging in modern organisations. Grounded in insights from Work Life Dilemmas – AI, she combines cases and practical reflections to help leaders create balance between human talent and machine capability while strengthening resilience and long term relevance.
Technological Progress And Ethics
Christiane Vejlø addresses the ethical responsibilities that accompany rapid technological advancement. Drawing on her experience in national advisory councils and data ethics boards, she explores governance, transparency, bias, and accountability in AI systems. With clear cases and balanced argument, she outlines how organisations can embed ethical reflection into decision making, strengthening trust, credibility, and sustainable innovation.
Innovation Without Losing Humanity
Christiane Vejlø considers how organisations can harness emerging technologies without eroding culture, creativity, and purpose. She examines the tension between efficiency and empathy, speed and reflection, disruption and responsibility. By integrating digital trend analysis with human centred leadership principles, she offers a framework for innovation that sustains both competitive advantage and organisational integrity.
Philosophy And Future Thinking
Christiane Vejlø draws unexpected parallels between ancient philosophy and emerging technologies, exploring how timeless questions about meaning, ethics, and identity can guide decisions in an AI driven world. Moving between classical thinkers and contemporary innovation, she challenges audiences to reflect on progress, responsibility, and human purpose. Her perspective encourages leaders to ground future strategies in enduring values, strengthening judgement and long term thinking in times of rapid change.

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on the PepTalk website?

Yes. If a speaker isn't listed, tell PepTalk their name and the team will approach them for you. The network extends well beyond the public roster, and PepTalk regularly books speakers who don't appear on the site. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with the name.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.

Can event entertainers customise their act for my company or industry?
