About Shama in New York
New York rooms are tough. The audience has seen everything, heard everyone, and can smell filler from the back row. That's exactly why event planners here book Shama Hyder. She built a company from $1,500 to a multimillion-dollar exit. She's a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute. She's shared stages with the Dalai Lama and President Obama. And she brings a 98.7% satisfaction rating earned over 500+ keynotes on six continents.
From Wall Street leadership events to Madison Avenue marketing summits to tech conferences in the Flatiron District, Shama custom-builds every keynote for the specific audience in the room. Her frameworks on Applied AI, growth strategy, and customer loyalty have moved rooms at Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, Mastercard, and Microsoft. Not theory. Systems your team can run.
New York event planners don't book Shama for inspiration. They book her because their audience walks out with a framework they can actually execute. That's the difference between a good keynote and the one people remember at year-end.
