How do I book Gregg Brown for my event?

Booking Gregg Brown with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process: 1. Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available. 2.

Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations. 4. Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match.

PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.

AI + Us

Reshaping Leadership, Work and Human Connection

AI is not just changing how work gets done. It’s changing how people make decisions, build trust, share expertise, learn new skills, and understand their own value at work.

For all of us in the workplace, the real challenge is not simply introducing new tools. It’s helping people stay engaged, confident, and ready to act while the work around them continues to shift.

In this keynote, attendees will learn how to build trust, reduce hesitation, encourage experimentation, and create the environment for people to contribute and adapt while work continues to change. They’ll also discover why psychological safety alone is not enough.

Sociological safety explores the unwritten and unspoken infrastructure of belonging and engagement. It creates stronger connection and the conditions for people to do their best work.

This is not a keynote about becoming an AI expert. It’s about becoming the kind of leader and teams people trust when the work, the tools, and the future keep changing.

Key Themes

1. The Human Side of AI Adoption
How AI affects confidence, trust, status, identity, and people’s sense of value at work.

2. Unlocking Sociological Safety
The unwritten and unspoken infrastructure of performance and belonging.

3. Leading Through Uncertainty Without Creating Panic
How leaders can use clear, practical language to open better conversations about AI without overpromising or creating false certainty.

4. The New Insider/Outsider Dynamic
How AI can quietly create divides between those who feel confident, included, and capable, and those who feel left behind.

5. Building Trust and Psychological Safety
How leaders can create the conditions for experimentation, learning, responsible use, and honest conversation.

6. Moving From Hesitation to Action
How teams can take small, practical steps through clear expectations, shared learning, and real-world experimentation.

Audience Takeaways
Participants will leave with practical ways to:
•   Recognize and respond to the human impact of AI adoption
•   Talk about AI in a way that reduces fear and builds confidence
•   Spot trust issues before they become barriers
•   Encourage experimentation without creating chaos
•   Help teams move from hesitation to meaningful action

The Evolution of Leadership in the Age of AI

As AI continues to reshape the workplace and the future of work, leadership is having to evolve to meet new demands and rising expectations from employees. With knowledge workers shifting away from routine, repetitive tasks, the very nature of leadership must change. According to a recent Future of Work survey, 73% of leaders believe their skill sets will need to change completely, or almost completely to thrive in this rapidly changing landscape.

Amidst talent shortages and concerns about AI replacing jobs, leaders are now challenged to refine their abilities and envision a future where humans and machines collaborate to achieve remarkable outcomes. Leadership will be key to fostering this partnership, driving innovation, and empowering teams.

In this engaging and insight filled keynote, Gregg will share research based insights combined with actionable strategies so the audience will:

Discover the critical leadership skills required for the future of work.
Explore how to build trust with the rise of the other AI - “Artificial Intimacy”
Learn how to reimagine the workplace so employees feel empowered not displaced
Uncover strategies to boost engagement and build long-term team commitment.
Master techniques to inspire teams to embrace the future of work with agility and enthusiasm.

This session will equip leaders with the insights and tools they need to lead in a world where humans and AI work hand in hand.
