Keynote Speaker Atlanta

About Shama in Atlanta

Bringing world-class keynotes to Atlanta

Atlanta draws serious audiences. The professionals filling conference rooms at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, and Buckhead executive venues are operators, investors, and decision-makers — people from finance, logistics, healthcare, and technology who have sat through enough keynotes to know instantly when a speaker is coasting on slides. What Atlanta audiences respond to is credibility: someone who has built something, understands what market signals actually mean, and gives them a framework they can use the next morning.

Shama Hyder built Zen Media from $1,500 to a multimillion-dollar exit over 17 years, serving clients including Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, AT&T, and Amazon Business. She is a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute and was recognized as a Top 100 Entrepreneur by both the White House and the United Nations. She has delivered 500+ keynotes in 26 countries and has shared stages with the Dalai Lama and President Obama. She holds a 98.7% audience satisfaction rating — not because she performs, but because she earns the room.

Her keynotes on Applied AI, Strategic Urgency, and customer growth are built for Atlanta's fast-moving conference landscape — whether that's the Southeast's largest financial services summits, healthcare leadership gatherings, logistics and supply chain forums, or technology association events. Every presentation is customized with industry-specific data, audience-specific framing, and proprietary frameworks developed over two decades of advising organizations at the edge of disruption.

Available for Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, and broader Southeast events. Regional travel included in standard booking.
