Signature Keynote
Human Lens on Technology Trends
Zoe Eather’s most in-demand keynote, The Human Lens on Technology Trends, cuts through the noise with clarity, humour and a deeply human lens.
Everyone is talking about AI, automation and digital transformation, but many people are still trying to work out what it actually
means for them.
This keynote brings a human lens to technology, helping audiences make sense of what is changing, where they fit and what becomes possible from here.
A stand-up comedian, highly regarded engineer, and data and technology expert, Zoe brings something rare to the stage. She knows how to dial the technology up or down depending on the audience, making her just as effective with deeply technical teams as she is with broad leadership groups.
At the centre of all her work is a simple but powerful shift.
Most people experience change as overwhelming, confusing, or out of reach.
Zoe helps them move from that sense of “this feels impossible” to “this is possible and I can see my place in it.”
Through her Possible Brain framework, she gives audiences the mindset and practical tools to reframe uncertainty, engage with change and step into what comes next with confidence.
She brings the human and the technology together in a way that makes people lean in, not switch off.

CHANGE THAT STICKS
