WHY GRAHAM
What Graham brings to the room.
Norris helps leaders think further into the future so they can make clearer decisions under uncertainty — combining organisational psychology, foresight and interactive formats that turn change from something to endure into something to shape.
KEYNOTE TOPICS
Ideas built for the stage.
Beyond the Hype: Finding Clarity in the Age of AI
A long-range perspective on AI that helps audiences separate meaningful developments from noise, explore both positive and negative scenarios and make more balanced strategic decisions.
Smash the Silos: Cultivating a Shared Sense of Purpose
How organisations can align individual, team and enterprise goals so strategy becomes actionable and cross-functional collaboration has a reason to happen.
The Future of Events: Human-Led, Tech-Enabled
Drawing on his work as Conference Futurist for The Meetings Show, Norris explores how technology can remove friction while gatherings focus more deliberately on connection, participation and the human value of being in the room.
Dr. Graham Norris is an organizational psychologist, futurist and leadership keynote speaker focused on change, uncertainty and futures thinking. He is Chief Futurist at CIPS and Conference Futurist for The Meetings Show, where in 2026 he led a live research workshop exploring what meetings and events could look like in 2036 and helped translate the findings into a wider industry conversation.\n\nNorris combines psychology with practical foresight techniques in keynotes, briefings, workshops and advisory sessions. His work is designed to help decision-makers move beyond prediction and build confidence in their own ability to examine alternative futures, challenge assumptions and act under uncertainty. His TEDx talk Be More Futurist and his DIY Futurist work extend the same idea: foresight is not reserved for professional futurists; it can become a leadership capability.
