About Shama in Los Angeles
Bringing world-class keynotes to Los Angeles
Los Angeles draws sophisticated audiences. The executives, investors, and decision-makers filling conference rooms at the LA Convention Center, Beverly Hilton, and JW Marriott at LA LIVE come from entertainment, technology, healthcare, and finance — industries where credibility is currency and audiences can spot a speaker coasting on charisma from the first slide. What LA audiences respond to is someone who has built something real, can read market signals with precision, and delivers frameworks that travel well beyond the keynote room.
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. Her 98.7% audience satisfaction rating reflects what happens when a speaker earns a room rather than simply filling it.
Her keynotes on Applied AI, Strategic Urgency, and customer growth are built for Los Angeles's complex, multi-industry conference landscape — from West Coast technology summits and entertainment media leadership events to financial services forums, healthcare innovation gatherings, and aerospace and defense association conferences. Every presentation is customized with industry-specific data, audience-specific framing, and proprietary frameworks developed from two decades of advising organizations at the edge of disruption.
Available for Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and broader West Coast events. Regional travel included in standard booking.
