Home » About Barry Hurd » Social Media Keynote Speaker, digital trends and business evolution

Looking for a keynote speaker?

A professional who is knows how digital trends are changing the way business interacts?

As a keynote speaker, I don’t beat around the bush. I also don’t sell books (or anything else for that matter)

I simply present educational, motivational, and expert information on how business is struggling to adapt to the evolution of digital life.

What is my basic thought?

Every industry niche is experiencing a digital shift.

This shift creates gaps of opportunity and risk that represent huge dollars.
The dollars also represent big ethical and moral questions.
Those questions highlight geographic, demographic, and worldwide concerns.

Yet as people trying to get by in our industry, we don’t really know how these big puzzle pieces fit together.

As a keynote speaker, I rely on my professional background and personal curiosity to find these gaps and shed expert insight on them.

I am not a ‘Johnny Come Lately’ keynote speaker.

I like to be involved. I am an attendee. I am a person.
I have a big business brain. I also have a multifaceted perspective.

I realize that keynote speakers bring value, they should bring more than they take.
I interact and give away information that is insanely valuable.
I enjoy being engaged and having both direct and side conversations with my audience.

I work with organizers and attendees

I am flexible and personable. I understand conferences need to pay bills. I understand attendees want to find value.

As an event organizer- I am your best friend as a keynote speaker

If you let me, I will tell you how to sell more tickets online.
I do “geeky” things like search optimization, registration page s and viral video syndication.
I can tell you what buzz is important, who to talk to, and how to make the biggest wave possible.

As an attendee – I am also you best friend as a keynote speaker

I’m an entrepreneurial junkie at heart. I want to see you succeed.
I create specific white-papers and follow-up articles for you.
I understand the need to rationalize time, effort, budget and return on investment.

As a keynote speaker

I have a breadth of understanding and experience working with audiences of different sizes and interests. This includes working with F500 white collar executive teams on one end, to boot-strapped start-up entrepreneurs looking for funding.
