“Katie’s presentation at the ACC Global General Counsel Summit could not have been more on point for our audience of senior legal counsel. She kicked off our Summit inspiring our attendees to take a different look at what is possible with AI vs just what is wrong with AI. It gave everyone something to consider as they participated in the rest of the programme and certainly encouraged more than a few conversations and connections for all. Can’t recommend Katie more for a keynote or presentation at any organisation’s upcoming events. Thanks again Katie for helping us hit this one out of the park!”
