Conferences are not product pitches.
They are influence platforms.
Most teams show up with feature demos and dense slides. The companies that win shape narratives, build credibility, attract talent, and create long-term pull. That kind of impact is crafted – deliberately. I offer a practical, end-to-end process to turn what you’ve built into a story the right
audience will remember – and the confidence for you to deliver it on a big stage.
The approach…
Strategic Narrative Discovery
Clarify goals, audience, positioning, and the perception shift you want to create.
Story Architecture & Talk Crafting
Build a compelling narrative arc with tension, resolution, and memorable takeaways – not a feature walkthrough.
Visual & Media Production
Modern, stage-ready decks plus supporting media, technical demo structure, and pacing that works in the room.
Delivery & Stage Coaching
Executive presence: voice, pacing, confidence under lights, audience interaction, and Q&A mastery.
Conference Targeting & Placement
Find the right events, craft strong abstracts and proposals – position talks to be accepted, attended, and amplified.
Optional Co-Presentation
If you wish, I can join you on stage as moderator/interviewer to elevate energy, reduce risk, and keep the narrative sharp.
Why me..?
What I offer isn’t presentation coaching – it’s strategic narrative engineering for technical organisations. I craft talks that create a measurable shift: stronger inbound interest, clearer positioning, higher-quality hiring conversations, and increased credibility with the right audiences.
I’m based in Bristol, UK, and I’ve spent over 25 years building and reimagining digital products, and when it comes to technical conferences, I’ve been on every side of the stage – organiser, speaker, manager, evangelist, interviewer, and host. That range means I understand what selection committees look for, what audiences remember, and what actually moves the needle for your business.
I’ve collaborated with technical founders, CTOs, product leaders, developer relations teams, startups, and engineering organisations to bring their stories to life on stage.
Engagement Models
Choose a one-off lift for an upcoming event, or build a repeatable engine for ongoing conference influence.
Talk Refinement
Fast uplift – narrative restructure, deck upgrade, and focused rehearsal coaching for an already-booked talk.
Strategic Positioning
Most popular – discovery workshop → talk creation → visuals → coaching → CFP/abstract support → event targeting.
Ongoing Partnership
Retainer – quarterly narrative shaping, multiple talks per year, speaker bench development, and placement strategy.
