Keynote topics
Every talk below starts from the same conviction: artificial intelligence is a tool in human hands, and the people who use it well are the ones who stay clear about what they are for.
Andre LeBlanc has spent eighteen years building with artificial intelligence — applications, websites, ERP systems and AI agent platforms for real organisations across New Brunswick and beyond. That experience shapes how he speaks: not as a commentator describing the future, but as a builder who has watched promising tools fail, reliable ones quietly change how a team works, and hype arrive years ahead of anything usable.
The talks are designed for rooms full of people who did not choose to become AI experts. Church leaders wondering whether they should use it for sermon preparation. Teachers worried about what students are handing in. Executives asked to approve a budget for something nobody on the board can quite define. Schools and community hosts who want a hopeful, grounded voice rather than a sales pitch. Every one of them can be delivered in English or in French.
Each session is built on plain language, concrete examples from real projects, and time set aside for questions. No jargon, no fear-based predictions, and no pretending that the hard parts are easy. Audiences leave with a clearer picture of what AI can do today, a short list of things worth trying, and a better vocabulary for the conversations their own teams will need to have next month.
How a booking works
Keynote · 45–60 minutes
The flagship talk. Artificial intelligence is not arriving to replace people; it is arriving to be used by them. Andre walks through what machines are genuinely good at, what they still cannot do, and why the human skills of judgement, care and trust become more valuable the faster the tools improve.
Keynote · 45 minutes
In 2015 Andre stood on a TEDx stage and made concrete predictions about where AI was heading. This talk opens the scorecard in public: what came true, what missed, and what the misses teach us about making decisions under uncertainty.
Keynote · 60 minutes
For leaders whose teams are being asked to adopt a new tool every quarter. The argument is deliberately unfashionable: the organisations that thrive are the ones that return to clear purpose, plain communication and steady decision-making rather than chasing every launch.
Workshop · 90 minutes
A hands-on session for teams who want to move from talking about AI to shipping with it. Andre draws on eighteen years of building applications, ERP systems and AI agent platforms to show what a realistic first project looks like, and what it costs in time and attention.
