Here are the topics businesses are learning so they can take their organization to the next level in 2023 and beyond:

Artificial Intelligence
Business and society are changing due to the influence of Artificial Intelligence. In fact, according to Grand View Research, AI is expected to see an annual growth rate of 37% a year. While it may not take your job, you’ll need to understand it going forward to succeed. One of the best speakers on AI is Adam Cheyer. Adam is a top A.I. expert and Siri co-founder. As the technical co-founder of Siri, he has been working with conversational and generative AI for several decades. Adam’s talks focus on the future of artificial intelligence and how it will affect your business.

Branding/Marketing
If people don’t know you, they aren’t likely to do business with you. Did you know that 93% of brands got a new customer because of a video on social media (according to Wyzowl)? It’s just one of the ways to get people to find you. If you like to know more, listen to Marcus Collins. Marcus is a Marketing Professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and the author of For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be. Marcus teaches the significance of developing an empathetic muscle to recognize how we are more alike than different, which can improve your company culture and bottom line.

Cybersecurity
If you like your money and personal information, you’ll need to practice good cybersecurity. It’s not just identity that you need to worry about. Your information can also be kidnapped and ransomed. According to Cloudflare, there was a 67% increase in ransom attacks. One of the best speakers for cybersecurity is Eric O’Neill. Eric is a business and cybersecurity expert who was the inspiration for the movie Breach. In his talks, Eric speaks about the future of cybersecurity, cyber espionage, and how to protect yourself from the threats of today and tomorrow.

Entrepreneurship
Did you know that more businesses were started during the pandemic than ever before? In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau noted 5.4 million new business applications were filed when we were all working from home. If you want to learn how to be a better entrepreneur, consider a Shark Tank judge, Kevin O’Leary. Kevin is a top entrepreneur speaker, venture capitalist, and guest judge on Shark Tank. His opinionated nature has won over millions of TV viewers, and Kevin’s professional tips and personal anecdotes have excited audiences all over.

Inspiration/Motivation
Motivated employees are more innovative, productive, and loyal than unmotivated employees.  In fact, according to a 2023 Gallup study, businesses with more motivated employees enjoy 23% more profit. If you want more motivation, one of the top motivational speakers is Molly Bloom. Molly is a top corporate and inspirational speaker, former US Team skier, and the bestselling author of Molly’s Game (an Oscar-nominated film). Corporate audiences everywhere are inspired by Molly’s story of comebacks, whether it was from injury as an athlete or in business.

If you want to learn how to handle difficult situations, stress, and pressure better, consider two of the best speakers on peak performance: JP Pawliw Fry and  Bill Benjamin. Using research from JP’s New York Times bestselling book Performing Under Pressure, they advise Fortune 500 companies and Olympic athletes to perform at their best.

Personal Development
Everyone wants to improve. But we often fall short of our goals without a system. In fact, according to one survey by Srinivas Rao, 96% of us fail in our personal development efforts. If you want to be one of the successful ones, listen to James Clear. James Clear is a top keynote speaker in personal development who helps people build systems of success, detailed in his 15 million-copy, worldwide-bestselling book Atomic Habits. Audiences learn how small habits, decision-making, and continuous improvement can help people reach their personal and business goals.

If you want to become resilient, there are steps you can take. One of the best speakers on resilience is Jia Jiang.
