Keynote Speaker Phoenix

About Shama in Phoenix

Bringing world-class keynotes to Phoenix

Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing convention cities in the country, and a hub for finance, healthcare, semiconductor, and direct-selling companies headquartered across the Valley. Your audience is sharp, time-pressed, and tired of generic keynotes. That's the room Shama Hyder was built for. She's delivered 500+ keynotes across 26 countries with a 98.7% satisfaction rating, is a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute, and has shared stages with the Dalai Lama and President Obama.

From corporate kickoffs at the Phoenix Convention Center to executive offsites at the Arizona Biltmore and association galas at JW Marriott Desert Ridge, Shama knows how to land a keynote that travels — to Monday's all-hands, to the strategy doc, to the boardroom. Her Applied AI, customer loyalty, and Strategic Urgency frameworks give the audience something they can use. Not entertainment. A system.

Past clients include Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe, JP Morgan Chase, Bloomberg, and the U.S. Navy. She founded and exited Zen Media after building it from $1,500 to a multimillion-dollar company. Phoenix-area planners book Shama because she's the one keynote in the program that makes attendees put their phones down and lean in.
