Georgie is an international speaker and emcee with more than 200 conferences, award ceremonies and keynotes behind her for clients including Google, IBM, Sony, Huawei and BAFTA. Audiences regularly top 1,200 and her background in live television shows: she is warm, quick on her feet and impossible to fluster. Her talks pull on a decade of first-hand tech reporting and on her current work founding Collab AI and training teams to use AI properly.
Here’s a highlight reel of Georgie in action:
A billion people used ChatGPT last week, most of them with near-identical prompts, and over half of long-form LinkedIn posts are now likely AI-generated. Quantity is up. Distinctiveness has collapsed. Georgie’s signature keynote is about the 10% that still separates you: the judgement, taste and expertise AI can’t generate, and how to sharpen it while everyone else drowns in sameness.
Drawing on a decade of testing technology on national television and her work training teams through Collab AI, Georgie delivers a practical three-part playbook, demonstrated live and tailored to your industry, your workflows and your audience’s real working day.
Audiences leave with:
Interactive, story-driven and updated constantly because the tools are. Workshop and half-day formats available through Collab AI.
Aimed at schools and colleges. An interactive session showing students what working in technology actually looks like, the surprising range of jobs inside it and how to get started, told through the stories of the makers, founders and engineers Georgie has interviewed across a decade on screen.
“The day was a big success and undoubtedly Georgie was a highlight. Her hosting skills were superb – relaxed, informal and friendly, striking just the right tone.”
Paul Castles, SCH Conference

Since 2020 Georgie has hosted international virtual conferences from her own home studio, kitted out with autocue, lighting, microphones and greenscreen. Her television background means talkback, multi-camera setups and live links hold no fear. Examples of her work include:

“Georgie was absolutely fantastic! She did an amazing job keeping the audience engaged, juggling any hiccups with the digital event platform and was incredibly enthusiastic and professional from start to finish. The audience thought she was brilliant and we even had someone specifically call her out in our post event survey”
Alana Bonnici, Workday Virtual Conference
Georgie’s journalistic background makes her natural fit for hosting panel discussions. Either working off her own questions or adapting to the formula of the day, she can facilitate large panels or fireside chats.
“Georgie was great to work with a true professional. She engaged with our audience well and brought real energy to the stage”
Jenna Read, Women In IT Awards
