Topics, sessions and talks
Too many organizations are reacting to headlines rather than planning for the structural shifts driving them. Sinead Bovell examines how artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, geopolitics, and technopolitics are converging to reshape the strategic landscape — not in isolation, but as interconnected forces with compounding effects. She gives corporate leaders across industries an integrated framework for cutting through the noise and building strategies that hold up over the next three, five, and ten years of sustained disruption.
How do you prepare the next generation for a future shaped by forces that are still accelerating? Sinead Bovell addresses the urgent decisions facing educators, administrators, and government officials right now — what changes immediately in classrooms, how the broader education system needs to be redesigned for AI-driven learning, and how to ensure ethical adoption at every stage. She identifies the skills students need to succeed in tomorrow's workplace and makes the case for why teachers matter more in the age of AI, not less.
AI is not a productivity tool — it is the general-purpose technology on which the next economy is being built. Sinead Bovell explains what that means for the workforce today, in five years, and a decade from now. She covers the rise of AI-first businesses, the skills that will define career resilience, and the emerging role of digital twins in reshaping how work gets done. Available as a broad overview or tailored to a specific industry, the talk leaves both organizations and individuals with a practical lens for futureproofing what they do.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
