Technical ideas that move people
Speaking
Owen gives presentations about AI, agents, software and the human meaning of technological change.
The signature talk
What to tell your children about the future brings technical reality and human consequence into the same room. Owen is actively taking new bookings, especially on AI, AI agents and the future of software.
A long conference history
Owen has closed conferences at Urbit, spoken at London Business School and Imperial College, appeared at five Devcons, three EthCCs and two EthBerlins, and taken part in more than ten hackathons. Recorded talks include The Future of Personal AI, The Future of Apps, Twelve Thoughts on the Future of Web3 and The Problems with Modern Software Development.
Built for the room
The aim is not a generic trend briefing. Owen combines first-principles technical explanation with the emotional questions people are already carrying, then gives the audience a practical sense of agency.
