Let’s talk
— Speaking & guest sessions

Invite the AI conversation into your room.

One-off talks, guest classes, and custom educational sessions — a lighter engagement than a full workshop, built for conferences, associations, companies, and programs.

— Formats

Three ways to bring me in.

A single engagement, shaped to your room. No program, no retainer, no long follow-on.

I

Keynote or talk.

A 30–60 minute talk for a conference, association, or company event. The big picture on AI — what’s real, what’s noise, and what it means for the people in the room.

II

Guest class or lecture.

A single class session for a program, school, or cohort. Hands-on and level-set for whoever’s in the room — the way I taught at Otis.

III

Custom one-off session.

A half-day or less, shaped to your group and your subject. One engagement, start to finish.

Pick the size of the room and the depth you want — I’ll shape the rest around your audience.
— Who it’s for

Rooms I’m invited into.

  • Conferences and industry events.
  • Associations, chambers, and member organizations.
  • Companies — all-hands, leadership offsites, lunch-and-learns.
  • Schools, programs, and cohorts that want a real practitioner in front of their people.
— Why me

Taught to teach.

Former college professor.

Hunter taught at Otis College of Art and Design and has mentored there for years since. He makes complex things click for a room of non-technical people.

Teaching inside a Google-supported program.

He leads multiple classes in the AI Academy at the Charleston Tech Center’s Learning Center — a workforce-development program supported by Google.

A Vistage member.

He taught the AI Cohort working session for Vistage groups in September 2026 — a full room of owners and executives, hands-on from start to finish.

Practitioners, not theorists.

Holy Automation builds and runs live AI systems for real companies, so the talk is grounded in what actually works — not a slide deck.

— How it works

Simple to book.

01

Tell me the room.

The date, the audience, and the outcome you want them walking away with.

02

I shape it to your audience.

Same subject, built for your people — their industry, their level, their questions.

03

The session.

One engagement, start to finish. No program, no follow-up obligation.

Speaking fee quoted per engagement — varies by format and travel.

— Where I’ve spoken

Rooms I’ve stood in front of.

  • A Vistage peer group — owners and executives (Sept 2026).
  • The AI Academy at the Charleston Tech Center’s Learning Center.
  • Home-services, HVAC, and professional-services teams.
  • Founders, operators, and civic groups across the Lowcountry.

Anonymous by default — references on request.

— Common questions

Before you ask.

What do you speak about?

Practical AI — what’s real, what’s noise, and how it actually applies to your people. Always tailored to the audience rather than a canned keynote.

How long is a session?

Keynotes run 30–60 minutes; guest classes are a single session; custom sessions run up to a half-day.

Do you travel?

Yes. Charleston-based and available well beyond the Lowcountry — travel is included in the quote.

Virtual or in person?

Both. In person when it matters, which is usually.

Can you tailor it to our industry?

Yes — that’s the point. Tell me who’s in the room and I’ll aim it at them.

How much is it?

Quoted per engagement — it varies by format and travel. Reach out with the date and we’ll scope it.

Invite me to speak.

Send the date and the room — I’ll come prepared for the people in it.
