Signature keynotes & workshops — from cutting-edge AI to uplifting, deeply human stories of resilience. Tailored to your stage.
Adam's own story of living with a degenerative condition — turning "paralysis" into "analysis," and adversity into a mission. An uplifting, deeply human keynote on resilience and technology that gives people back their agency. NPS 81 · 9.4/10 at a recent Singularity Exec Program.
Frugal innovation and the power of the tools we already hold. We underestimate how much change we can make — this keynote proves otherwise.
Robotics as a function of humanity — the philosophy and practice of machines that encapsulate what makes us human. NPS 73 at a recent Singularity Exec Program.
The human–AI conversation, drawn through myth and the social graph — and how we use our greatest gift in a world where we're no longer the most intelligent lifeform.
AI in healthcare — "slow until it's sudden." The latest from Adam's own research on data augmentation and generation, with applicability far beyond medicine.
Where technology and humanity converge. Delivered over 50 times to audiences around the world, including Singularity University summits.
Over 180 engagements across five continents — from Johannesburg main stages to Silicon Valley, Mexico City, Dubai, Mumbai, Madrid and beyond.
He doesn't just talk about technology — he brings it into the room. Every keynote runs live, interactive experiences — real-time polls, perception demos, emotion maps — so the audience doesn't just listen, they take part. Try them yourself below.
Interactive tech experiences · live on stage & right here
A brand-new experiment — a real-time map of how humanity feels right now, plotting collective valence (pleasant ↔ unpleasant) against arousal (calm ↔ intense), decaying over time. It's early days, so be one of the first to drop a feeling.
The same live audience poll Adam runs from the stage — cast your vote and watch the room update in real time. In the room, it streams to the projector instantly.
Will AI augment or replace human creativity?
A perception demo Adam runs live. At first it's alien whistles — then you hear the hidden sentence, and you can't un-hear it. A tiny window into how the brain builds meaning.
What organisers and audiences say after Adam leaves the stage.
Without writing a single line of code, Adam was able to write into my brain — and help me understand, in a profoundly human way, what my purpose is.
Javier D'Ovidio · Exponential Technologist · on Step Change
There are moments in life that divide a before and an after. Listening to you today was one of those moments for me. I have attended countless conferences, heard extraordinary minds speak, and yet it had been many years since I felt something move through my entire being the way it did today. It wasn't just the brilliance of your ideas. It was the humanity behind them. ... Today I felt deeply grateful — even blessed — to witness someone who represents what leadership in our time should look like: conscious, ethical, resilient, and profoundly human. ... I believe that when one person evolves, the collective shifts. And today, something shifted in me. Thank you for that.
I never got the opportunity to thank you on one of the most amazing thought leadership events I have never attended. As one of the clients mentioned 2019 was incredible but this was next level Adam. Your content was incredible and watching our clients I could see that they were blown away and truly engaged.
My Monday has started with the most profound keynote delivery I have ever experienced. Thank you @AdamPantanowitz for your incredibly authentic, vulnerable and beautiful presentation.#Inspired #GrowingGreatness
