"I could have listened to him all day." - John, AEGIS
"Daniel presented on AI at an internal event to nearly 100 financial services professionals. His knowledge, interest and passion in the subject were clear and the audience was hooked as he explored the development of AI in today's world and its current and potential impact. Daniel has incredible in-depth knowledge of his subject area and is an excellent speaker. He has been invited to speak to different audiences at the firm several times and is always given very positive feedback by the audience. We'd be delighted to have him back again!" - Dahlia, Accenture

"We have just completed the session with Daniel Hume. It was a fantastic presentation with interaction with the audience (although he didn’t get to see all of it) and left the whole audience with a thought provoking mindset. I am very excited to hear his responses to questions on 12 June." - Heather, GlaxoSmithKline plc
"The event with Daniel Hulme was a barnstormer! He’s highly watchable and has a great way in breaking down complex concepts so colleagues can follow him on the journey into AI." - Sam, Digital Engagement Consultant, M&G
"AI is an incredibly interesting subject at the moment, but Dan took it to a whole other level. He brought his honesty, professionalism, vast experience and expertise and some incredibly insightful insights to the stage and our entire audience were hanging on his every word - I wasn't sure he was going to be allowed to exit stage with all of the questions people wanted to ask him! Not only that, on a slightly more personal note - I was up against it when Dan arrived, he read the room, took himself straight to production and got himself ready, to the extent he blended in so well I did not recognise him at first! Although this is not the welcome I had hoped to give him, I can't thank him enough for his proactivity and delivery at our event." - Katherine, Senior Global Events Manager, Ingram
