For conferences and all-hands eventsFor the annual conference, the all-hands or the association event that wants a keynote on AI people actually remember: one clear argument and a takeaway, not a product demo and not a generic motivational slot.
Corporate conferences and all-hands events, and industry and professional-association gatherings, where AI or the future of work is the theme. It suits a mixed audience, from the front line to the leadership team, because the argument is human and universal: what happens to people, work and judgement as the machines take over the tasks.
Rahim Hirji opens or closes your conference with Drift versus Design, the difference between an organisation that adopts AI through a thousand small decisions nobody quite made, and one that decides in advance where human judgement has to remain. The audience leaves with one idea they remember, a shared piece of language, and a sense of agency rather than anxiety. It is pro-AI and pro-human, current and specific, not a tools demo or a doom-and-hype survey.
For a conference that wants a clear, memorable argument about AI and the future of work rather than a demo or a motivational slot, Rahim Hirji is a strong fit. He is the author of SuperSkills (Kogan Page, 2026), and his signature keynote, Drift versus Design, gives a mixed audience one idea they remember and can act on.
From a few hundred to several thousand, as an opening or closing keynote, in person or online, internationally.
Neither, exactly. It is an argument about people and judgement, pro-AI and pro-human, rather than a tools demo or a hype-and-doom survey.
