Mitch Mitchem

Format: 60 to 90 min · 120-min version with Q&A · virtual and hybrid available

Your audience is trapped between the hype and the doom, and no one is telling them the truth.

Mitch Mitchem does. In one hour he pulls back the curtain on AI. He shows the humans hidden behind the “automation,” the hilarious ways the technology fails, the genuine breakthroughs worth celebrating, and the simple, practical way to actually use it without fear.

There is a new anxiety, and it finally has a name: FOBO, the Fear of Becoming Obsolete. Sixty percent of workers are afraid AI will take their job this year, while only 13% of organizations are seeing real results from what they spent on it. Your audience is living inside that gap between the promise and the fear, and this is the talk that closes it. With the data to prove it, Mitch shows that the companies winning with AI are not the ones with the fanciest tools. They are the ones that figured out what only humans can do, and protected it.

Built for the C-suite and senior leaders, this is a direct briefing from someone who has been inside more AI rollouts than almost anyone alive. Mitch shows, with the data, what actually separates the 6% of organizations getting AI right from the 94% that are not. Leaders walk out with the conversation they have been avoiding, and the exact language to finally have it.

AI made knowledge free overnight, and that quietly changes the value of almost everything a company was built around. Meanwhile most organizations are letting their most irreplaceable asset, human wisdom, walk out the door with every retirement. Built to close a conference, this talk starts personal, builds into something urgent for the business, and stays with people for months.

Your audience is losing about 51 working days a year, plus real money, to friction they never created and cannot always see. Not the accidental kind. The deliberate kind, built by systems designed to profit from their time and attention. Based on Mitch’s book, launched June 2026, this talk names who builds these systems, why they build them, and exactly how to fight back. He calls out the three kinds of friction killing productivity and AI adoption right now, then breaks the news that two of them cannot be fixed by buying more software. Signed copies available for attendees.

Format: 60-min keynote or 90-min breakout · optional 30-min Q&A · virtual available

This is not a talk about enthusiasm or positivity. It is a keynote about passion as a professional skill: the ability to connect to why your work matters, bring that into the room, and make the people around you feel it too. People have gone quiet in how they show up to work, and it is happening in every industry. Mitch closes that gap live, using music, humor, interaction, and three decades of stage experience. It wakes a room up and sends everyone back into the world on fire.

Fear of AI is not a technology problem. It is a human one. The Start meets a nervous room exactly where it is and turns the fear into curiosity, confidence, and a first real win. No jargon, no pressure, nobody left behind. Mitch runs live demos built around the real problems the people in the room are facing, and everyone leaves with three to five specific things they can do with AI the minute they get back to their desk.

You bought the tools. You ran the pilot. And then nothing. The AI Reboot finds exactly where the momentum died and restarts the engine with a plan your people will actually follow. Using live demos and the room’s own real problems, Mitch turns stalled effort into forward motion before anyone leaves.

Format: 2-hour or half-day workshop · fully customized · virtual available

The most effective people in any room do not wait to be engaged. They create the engagement themselves. This workshop teaches that skill through live practice, real-time coaching, and exercises built around the actual work people do every day. When US Bank’s trade show and events team went through it, they reported 10 times the leads. Everyone leaves able to hold a room, start a conversation, and bring the kind of energy that moves people forward.

Format: 2-hour, half-day, or full-day intensive · fully customized · virtual available

Most people were taught what to present, never how. This workshop fixes that with Mitch’s AMP framework, live practice in front of the group, and improvement you can see before the session is over. Teams from Microsoft, Iron Mountain, and Alkami Technology have called it one of the most impactful sessions they have ever done.

Format: 90 min to half-day · scales with breakout structure · virtual available

The working companion to F*ck Your Friction. Every team leaves with a map of the friction costing them the most right now, plus a thirty-day plan to start clearing it out. They walk out with something they can act on before the week is over, which is what turns conference inspiration into change that actually sticks.

Format: 60-min session, 90-min competitive breakout, or 120-min full experience · scales 20 to 2,000

There is nothing else like this on the conference market. Not even close. Imprompting is a trademarked experience that fuses live improv comedy with AI prompt engineering, and it does what no keynote, workshop, or breakout ever has, all at once: it builds a real skill, creates real energy, and gives every person in the room the best conference session they have had in years. Nobody feels like they sat through a class. It is reliably the most talked-about session at any event it is part of, the reason attendees come back the next year, and a differentiator no other conference in your space can put on the schedule.
