What this sounds like on stage

Why book Matthew

An industry insider - not a generic futurist.

He builds the AI-governance systems he speaks about, then briefs your board on what actually works.

Matthew Bertram, oil & gas AI keynote speaker
What leaders say

“He has a real gift for translating between the technical and the boardroom… Matt actually understands what governance means when models are making decisions on your data - not just generating slides about it.”

Richard Valentine · AI Memory & Governance Architecture

“I sought Matt’s expertise ahead of OTC to better align my consultancy and podcast. His strategies helped me understand exactly what I needed to do. I highly recommend him in the oil & gas sector.”

Elena Melchert · Founder, Energia · former U.S. DOE Director
