In a world hungry for clarity on artificial intelligence, keynote speaker Zack Kass offers a compass. With over a decade in the AI industry (yes, it has been around that long…) most notably as Head of Go-To-Market at OpenAI, Kass has helped CEOs, governments, and technologists around the world transform bewildering innovations into human-centered strategies.
He doesn’t just speak about the future—he has actually built it. From guiding enterprise AI adoption at Fortune 1000 companies like Coca-Cola and Morgan Stanley, to decoding OpenAI’s breakthroughs for the public good, Kass is the rare speaker who can connect vision with execution.
Zack Kass is not your typical tech evangelist. His stage presence is commanding, his delivery intellectually rich yet refreshingly human. He draws analogies between AI and the Renaissance, not to scaremonger, but to reframe fear as potential and help organisations implement realistic plans for the future. With the poise of a philosopher and the precision of a product strategist, he invites audiences to consider AI not as a threat, but as an amplifier of human ingenuity.
His signature keynotes include “The Next Renaissance,” which offers a bold and hopeful narrative around AI’s potential to enhance creativity and problem-solving, and “The Next Great Company,” a practical guide for executives building organizations fit for the AI age. Whether he’s decoding quantum computing or exploring the ethics of intelligent systems, Kass brings audiences on a journey from confusion to clarity.
What makes Zack especially unique is his ability to tailor each talk. He listens intently to client briefs and weaves content that resonates with the audience’s context—whether it’s a room of financial strategists or a summit of policy innovators. His use of interactive feedback, coupled with real-time engagement, ensures no two sessions are alike.
He’s also surprisingly approachable. Equal parts Californian surfer – which goes down very well with the Director of Oration Speakers – and he is a machine-learning realist, Zack’s accessibility makes even the most abstract AI topics land with authenticity. He’s been profiled in Fortune, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur, but it’s his ability to demystify AI without dilution that makes him indispensable.
Client feedback has been emphatic. “Best session of the day,” according to Jeff McMillan, Chief Analytics & Data Officer at Morgan Stanley and “He helped us plan our entire AI strategy,” noted Coca-Cola’s President. Founders of cutting-edge AI startups commend him for his rare blend of technical fluency and public inspiration.
If your event revolves around innovation, transformation or the future of work, Zack Kass brings thematic alignment, intellectual rigor and unmistakable charisma. He doesn’t simply fit into your event—he enhances its DNA.
His speaking fees are actually not too high considering his experience, but with the amount of bookings he is getting lately we see it being increased very soon, but he offers flexibility for virtual or hybrid formats and working with Oration Speakers, ensures a seamless booking experience—from content strategy to logistics and post-event feedback.
For planners, the value lies not just in the keynote, but in Zack’s ability to become part of the conversation that lives on after the lights dim. We will also provide video reels, testimonials, and pre-briefs to help assess stage fit and delivery style before committing.
In a crowded landscape of AI voices, Zack Kass stands apart not because he shouts the loudest, but because he speaks with the most clarity. His keynote is not a lecture; it’s a catalyst.
