Topics, sessions and talks

AI And The Future Of Medicine
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are changing entire industries and eliminating the routine from healthcare tasks. How will artificial intelligence and robots change the face of medicine and healthcare? How will they affect patient testing, diagnosis, and doctor/patient interaction? In this talk, José Morey discusses what you should expect from health and medicine in the age of artificial intelligence.
Healthcare Challenges On Earth And Beyond
Our health is not just about going to the doctor. It’s a holistic process that also looks at how our environments and behaviours interact with our well-being. How will our health change when we can travel quickly across the earth in Hyperloops or visit faraway places like Mars? In this exciting talk, José Morey discusses the healthcare challenges and opportunities on Earth and in space.
The Future Of The Space Industry
Space is a hostile environment for humans. In order to travel and explore Mars, our solar system, and beyond, we will have to develop ways to protect humans from the low oxygen and high radiation environments while also giving them the tools to thrive. In this talk, José Morey will draw from his work with NASA to discuss the health challenges and solutions to space exploration and how this will change healthcare close to home.
Leonardo Da Vinci And The New Technology Renaissance
Leonardo da Vinci is still today one of humanity’s greatest innovators. His ability to blend cross-disciplinary sciences, technology, and art has inspired our greatest inventors from Franklin to Edison to Steve Jobs. In this talk, José Morey delves into the life and genius of the Renaissance thinker and explores how companies today can emulate his traits to transform their enterprises into innovation leaders and lead in this new technology renaissance.
AI And The New Machine Age
Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and deep learning are going to change the way we work, live, and love. Predictive tools and machine learning neural networks have the capability to not only take on routine tasks but to tackle bigger problems. In this talk, José Morey discusses the challenges and opportunities awaiting businesses that use these new tools.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

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.

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.
