About Priya
A researcher first, a speaker second
Priya spent nine years studying workplace automation at a research institute before she started keynoting in 2015. She still publishes, which is why the numbers in her talks are current and why she will correct herself on stage when new data says otherwise. She takes no more than 30 dates a year.

FAQ
For event organisers
How far in advance do you book?
Most dates are taken nine to twelve months ahead, and Q1 and Q4 fill first. Priya holds a small number of dates each quarter for late bookings, so it is worth asking even inside three months.
What technical setup do you need?
Sixteen by nine projection, a confidence monitor, a headset mic and a slide advancer you control from the booth as backup. She sends slides five days out and joins a tech check the afternoon before.
Will the talk be customised to our industry?
Yes. The customisation process includes reviewing your agenda, a call with the chair and short interviews with two or three attendees. Roughly a third of the talk is written specifically for your event.
Can we record and distribute the keynote?
Recording for internal attendee access is included. Public distribution or paid on demand libraries need a short separate license, which is usually granted for a modest additional fee.
