Hello, I'm Matt O'Neill, the Optimistic Futurist. I'm here to illuminate the path towards a more promising future with AI for your company. Serving as an AI keynote speaker and author, I offer hope, enthusiasm, and practical advice that will propel your audience into an inspiring tomorrow. I specialise in aiding companies to grasp Artificial Intelligence and its impact on our world.

Embarking on three business ventures in marketing and communications—with one notable setback—I've embraced risk-taking and resilience. My insatiable curiosity about our evolving world has driven me towards my mission: preparing people for an unpredictable future.

My commitment goes beyond just speaking about these concepts; I embody them. This authenticity establishes me as a genuine authority in the field. Let’s collaborate to prepare your company for the impending changes.
