Not only did Mike kick off our conference with relevant, thought provoking content, but his dynamic delivery had our attendees engaged and thinking about the future of digital media.
Marketing & Content Director, ad:tech

If the future is already here then it’s certain that Mike manages somehow to insert himself into one of those little pockets of the future, have a look around, and then come back and let the rest of us know what our world will soon be like! It’s been a pleasure debating the future of media with a real visionary.
Director of Strategy, Fairfax

Your talk was so well received! Many people (including myself and my team) thought you were the best speaker of the whole conference. You can be absolutely certain that if we ever need an insightful, clever, entertaining and informative discussion on the future of television we will give you another call.
Head of On Air, XYZ Music Channels

Everyone at Triple J was very interested and inspired by your presentation...it was brilliant to have the team being able to hear some of your insights!

Fascinating! You should also write books on presenting technology topics to non-technology people. It’s a skill very few technologists have."
Walt Disney Studios

Mike was a pleasure to work with. His presentation was perfectly pitched reflecting his research prior to the event to tailor his presentation to our audience and he also took the time to meet with some of them prior to the presentation. We would highly recommend Mike to anyone interested and would love to work with him again."

Would highly recommend Mike Walsh to any company who wants to get a clearer understanding of not what might be, but what is very likely to be
Fujifilm Australia

Mike is highly inquisitive and original, not only in his thinking but also in his presentation, taking complex issues and turning them into simple and digestible themes. Mike is very valuable at helping challenge whatever your conventional wisdom is, and in setting out a clear set of views on how things might shape in months and years to come. I recommend him highly."
