SPEAKING
IN PERSON & VIRTUAL KEYNOTES
David Borish is an Enterprise AI Strategist, keynote speaker, and author whose predictions have a habit of becoming headlines. His July 2024 forecast that China's AI capabilities would surge was widely dismissed until DeepSeek triggered a trillion-dollar market correction months later. Through his work with Trace3, IBM, and Fortune 500 clients, David helps leaders cut through the noise of the AI hype cycle and make concrete decisions about how to deploy artificial intelligence where it actually matters: on their own terms, on their own infrastructure, with measurable results.
CURRENT TALK TRACKS
IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL
Explore David's keynotes, from enterprise AI strategy and agentic systems to the nature of reality itself, built for leaders who want clear thinking and practical frameworks for what's actually coming next.
OPEN-PREM INFLECTION POINT
Enterprise AI strategy is at a turning point. Open-source models are reaching parity with proprietary systems at a fraction of the cost. David breaks down the data, the benchmarks, and the real-world case studies that show where this is heading, and what it means for how organizations should be building their AI infrastructure today.
THE AGENTIC ENTERPRISE
​AI agents are moving from demos to production. In this keynote, David maps out how autonomous AI systems will reshape workflows, decision-making, and organizational structure. Drawing on 25 years of enterprise technology experience and work with Fortune 500 companies, he provides a practical framework for leaders navigating the shift from copilots to fully agentic operations.
THE TONY HAWK PARADOX
What if the same logic that powers video game physics also governs the universe? David draws a line from how games render reality only when a player is looking to how quantum mechanics behaves the same way. Connecting ideas from gaming architecture, quantum physics, and information theory, this talk is part scientific investigation, part philosophical reckoning with the possibility that our world runs on code.
