Elizabeth speaks at keynotes, workshops, executive briefings, and panel sessions across the country. Most engagements are tailored to the audience in the room — so the conversation usually starts with what you need them to walk out with.

A signature talk tailored to your audience — most often AI policy, prompt strategy, intergenerational workforce, or industry-specific AI adoption.
Hands-on working sessions where attendees leave with a draft artifact — an AI policy, a prompt library, a pitch plan, a workshop design. Built for groups of 12 to 80.
A focused session for a leadership team that needs to make an AI decision — adopt a tool, draft a policy, set a position. Pre-call to tailor the discussion.
Panel participation or panel moderation on AI, workforce, and operational topics. Works well at industry forums and association events.
For organizers who haven't booked a speaker before — or who want to know what to expect — here's the typical flow from your first email to the day of the event.
Reply within two business days, usually sooner. The reply confirms availability for your date and asks any clarifying questions about audience and outcomes.
A 20–30 minute conversation to understand your audience, the decisions in front of them, and what a successful session looks like. This is where the session gets tailored — not after you've signed a contract.
A short written proposal with the session title, learning objectives, format, agenda, and fee. Usually delivered within a week of the discovery call.
Straightforward speaker agreement covering scope, fee, travel, recording rights, and cancellation terms. Standard 50% deposit confirms the date.
Two to three weeks out, a short call to confirm room setup, AV, recent updates to your team's context, and any last-minute tailoring. The press & media kit covers AV requirements and an intro script for your emcee.
Arrive early, soundcheck, deliver the session. After the event, a short follow-up email to your attendees with the worksheets and resources discussed — included in the engagement.
For interviews, podcast invites, or media requests, the press & media kit has the bios, headshot, intro script, and AV details. Email evr.barnes@gmail.com with the show or outlet.
