How Each Engagement Is Scoped
Every engagement is shaped by your context. These factors determine its format, preparation, and timeline.
Audience size. A keynote for 50 people needs different preparation than one for 500. Virtual audiences change the approach too.
Customization. A standard framework is one option. Tailoring it to your industry, structure or specific challenges takes more depth.
Travel and logistics. Local engagements differ from international ones. Virtual removes this factor entirely.
Timeline. Eight weeks of lead time allows deep customization. Rush timelines of two to three weeks require additional resources.
Scope. One department or the whole enterprise. Quick alignment or a multi-month transformation. A board briefing or an embedded advisory partnership.
Strategic depth. A keynote builds awareness and shares frameworks. An assessment examines your governance maturity, risks and gaps. Embedded advisory spans the whole AI adoption journey.
Booking FAQ
What’s included?
Speaking engagements include pre-event consultation, customization, materials (slides and frameworks), and post-event resources. Advisory engagements include every service described above. Travel, accommodation, and AV are usually arranged separately, or we can coordinate them with you.
Can I combine services, such as a keynote and a board briefing?
Yes. Many organizations start with a keynote to build awareness, follow with a board briefing for governance oversight, then move to embedded advisory as adoption scales. We can combine services into a single engagement.
Where should we start if we’re early in our AI governance work?
Start with a transformation briefing to clarify strategy and align leadership. It’s a focused way to test fit and see what you need next. Many clients then move to an assessment or ongoing advisory.
Do you work with non-profits and public institutions?
Yes. We tailor engagements for nonprofits, government organizations and other unique circumstances.
What’s the booking process?
- Tell us about your event or challenge through the contact form.

Can you customize a talk or workshop for our audience?
Yes, that’s standard. The pre-event consultation helps us understand your context so the framework, examples, and exercises fit your industry and organization.
Do you speak virtually?
Yes. We use professional production, manage the technology, and design for remote audiences. The quality matches in-person.
What if we want an ongoing relationship?
That’s embedded advisory. Dr. Seba works alongside your team for 6–12 months, guiding your AI adoption and governance as it scales.
