Transform brain science into business insights with Susan Greenfield, speaker, neuroscientist and entrepreneur. Susan works with organisations to understand technology's impact on cognition and workplace wellbeing, delivering pioneering research backed by 32 honorary degrees and a Life Peerage.
Baroness Susan Greenfield is a pioneering neuroscientist and entrepreneur whose work delves into the brain’s most profound mysteries, from consciousness to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's.
As the founder and CEO of the biotech company Neuro-Bio, she leads groundbreaking efforts to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s based on her research into novel brain mechanisms.
Susan has contributed significantly to understanding how technology, like screens, affects the human brain, sparking vital conversations about how innovations like social media and gaming shape our cognition, creativity, and identity. Her book Mind Change explores these themes in depth, positioning her as a leading voice on the intersection of neuroscience and modern life.
A passionate advocate for women in science, Susan authored the influential SET Fair report for the UK government in 2002, highlighting the systemic barriers women face in science, engineering, and technology and providing actionable recommendations to improve recruitment, retention, and support for women in these fields. Greenfield continues to work tirelessly on initiatives that promote gender equity, aiming to level the playing field and create a more inclusive environment for future generations of female scientists.
Throughout her career, Susan has been recognised with numerous accolades, including being appointed a CBE and receiving a Life Peerage in 2001. She holds 32 honorary degrees and is a member of prestigious institutions like the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the French L’Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur. She also served as Adelaide's "Thinker in Residence" from 2004 to 2005, advising the South Australian government on how science and technology could drive economic development.
Through her research, writing, and public speaking, Susan bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and its implications for society, offering insights that resonate with both experts and the public alike.
Susan’s diverse expertise covers neuroscience, ageing, creativity, and consumer behaviour, making her adaptable to tech, travel, food, education, and advertising sectors.
Topics, sessions and talks
This talk tackles the growing issue of neurodegenerative diseases. As the population in general lives longer, diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, usually associated with older age, will become an ever-greater presence in society. Susan’s groundbreaking research has led to the identification of novel brain mechanisms linked to these diseases, which allow the exploration of new treatments and to improve outcomes for millions. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of neurodegeneration and how cutting-edge science may shape the future of care and intervention.
Baroness Susan Greenfield explores the profound effects of 21st-century technologies like social media, gaming, and the internet on the human brain. The long-term consequences remain unknown as these innovations reshape how we think, interact, and perceive ourselves. Susan provides audiences with a deeper appreciation of how technology may shape future generations and how they can navigate these shifts in their own lives.
Baroness Susan Greenfield delves into the intersection of neuroscience and philosophy to explore one of life's greatest mysteries—how consciousness and self-awareness arise. Drawing on her research into neuronal assemblies, she reveals how local brain events connect to larger processes in the brain. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the science behind consciousness and leave inspired to think differently about the mind’s connection to identity and awareness.
Baroness Susan Greenfield, a pioneering advocate for women in science, addresses the critical challenges female scientists face, including underrepresentation, gender biases, and career barriers. Drawing on her experience as the first female director of the Royal Institution, she explores the importance of promoting science to young women and creating supportive environments for female researchers. Attendees will gain insights into strategies for fostering gender equity in science and feel empowered to champion change in their own fields.
Book Susan Greenfield to inspire your team with her groundbreaking insights on neuroscience and technology's impact on human cognition. Her unique blend of scientific expertise and engaging storytelling will challenge perspectives, spark innovation, and empower your organisation to navigate the complexities of the 21st century.

To book Susan Greenfield, email susan.greenfield@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Baroness Greenfield's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
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.
