Scott Steinberg · Futurist Speaker, Consultant & Analyst
Remote delivery removed the two things that used to limit who you could book: travel budget and calendar geography. What it did not remove is the need for someone with something to say. A thought leader and keynote speaker for 3000+ brands, Scott Steinberg is a celebrity futurist, analyst and #1 bestselling author of over 30 books who delivers online keynotes across leadership, business, technology, AI, marketing, workforce, B2B and consumer subjects.
Topics include areas like technology and AI, marketing, change management, the future of work, workforce and workplace, consumer and retail trends, and strategic foresight, delivered to audiences in any location or time zone.
Each of these becomes a different session depending on who is in the room. The topic is the starting point rather than the deliverable.
Sessions on where technology is genuinely heading, separated from the version that gets sold at conferences by people with something to sell.
Built around what is deployed and working, what is close, and what has been three years away for a decade.
Among the most requested subjects and the one where audiences are most saturated, which makes the angle matter more than the topic.
Sessions cover what is actually deployable now, what adoption requires organizationally, and what is being oversold.
How reaching people has changed as distribution moved from channels you could buy into systems that decide on your behalf.
Sessions address what still works, what quietly stopped, and how marketing organizations should be reshaped around it.
Sessions on how work itself is changing: distributed teams, automation of tasks rather than jobs, and what organizations are getting wrong about both.
Suits leadership, HR and operations audiences as well as general business programs.
How buying behavior is shifting, where discovery happens now, and what that does to brands built for an earlier version of the path to purchase.
Works for retail, consumer brand and commerce audiences.
Sessions on the business behind the content: streaming economics, creator dynamics, attention competition and where audiences actually spend their time.
Draws on decades of covering entertainment and games for national outlets.
The version audiences actually need from a futurist: not predictions, but a method for making decisions when the horizon is genuinely unclear.
We also offer training workshops, seminars and webinars where a leadership team applies it to their own planning.
Any of the above narrowed to a single sector, which is what specialist audiences almost always prefer to the general version. Sample industries: Finance, insurance, banking, healthcare, medical, CPG, retail, pharmaceutical, fintech, financial services, B2B, consumer, etc.
Sector framing is developed on the planning call from what your audience is actually contending with.
Delivered from a setup and connection, with a rehearsal on your platform included as standard rather than offered as an upgrade.
Online keynote speaker talks, training workshops and custom breakout sessions customized for clients.
A technical run-through on your actual platform with your production team, included as standard.
Sessions delivered to audiences anywhere, including hours that travel-based booking would make impossible.
Usage rights for replay, clips and internal distribution agreed before the session rather than negotiated afterward.

All sorts: Technology and innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, marketing, advertising, sales, change management, future trends, workforce and workplace, consumer behavior and retail, media and entertainment, and strategic foresight. Any of them can be narrowed to a specific industry, which specialist audiences generally prefer.
It changes the design rather than limiting the content. Sessions run shorter, use tighter segments and build interaction into the structure. What it removes is travel cost and calendar geography, which usually opens up dates and speakers that would otherwise be out of reach.
Yes, and remote delivery is what makes it practical. Early and late sessions that would be impossible with travel attached are straightforward, so international events are worth asking about regardless of the hour.
A planning call to build the session for your program, a technical rehearsal on your platform with your production team, delivery from a dedicated broadcast setup with a backup connection, and agreed usage rights for the recording.
Lower total cost with no travel or accommodation, more date flexibility, and a session designed for how people actually watch. In-person still wins for the energy of a room, so the honest answer depends on what your event needs the session to do.
Share your date and time zone, audience, platform and program theme. Because there is no travel involved, dates that would be impossible in person are frequently available.
Remote delivery makes international and awkwardly timed sessions practical, including early or late slots that travel would rule out. If your event is outside North American hours, ask anyway.
