Here’s a highlight reel of Georgie in action:

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE

AI POWERED BY YOU: HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR 10% EDGE

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.

THE FUTURE IS TECH: YOUR GUIDE TO THRIVING IN A STEM CAREER

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.

VIRTUAL HOST

“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:

  • ServiceNow Knowledge: Georgie hosted ServiceNow’s first interactive digital experience with New York production company Red Thread, fronting 30 episodes of original content. Knowledge 2020 drew 25,000 attendees and over 4 million engagements across six weeks.
  • NEXT Digital Experience: Nutanix combined its Americas and EMEA conferences into its first global digital event, with Georgie as main host across multiple days. Over 15,000 attendees watched, and the finale saw her present alongside Trevor Noah.
  • Siemens RealizeLIVE: Georgie presented the two-day virtual experience, pre-recording links and interviewing the senior executive team, including Siemens CEO Tony Hemmelgarn.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS

“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.
