Signal & Stage

Choose an AI speaker for the decisions your audience faces.

An executive team deciding how to oversee AI needs a different session from clinicians examining how it affects judgment. Start with the work your audience does and the question they need to address. Then compare speakers, talk descriptions and delivery samples.

This guide introduces AI related perspectives within Signal & Stage. It is published by the collective, a DR GPT™ Labs venture created by Harvey Castro, MD. The profiles describe current topic areas; final content and availability are confirmed for your event.

Start with the decision your audience faces.

These are starting points, not an exhaustive roster. Use the directory to compare all speakers, languages and formats.

Give the speaker a specific brief.

Describe the audience’s roles, familiarity with AI and the decisions they face. Name one useful outcome, such as better questions about oversight, a clearer way to discuss clinical judgment or a shared understanding of adoption challenges. Identify the session length, preferred format and whether participants will apply the ideas together.

Share examples you have permission to discuss. Note subjects that should stay outside the session, especially confidential organizational information. A focused brief helps the speaker propose relevant content without assuming that one talk covers every aspect of AI.

Use the event planning worksheet

Use each sample for what it shows.

A stage talk shows delivery to an audience. An interview shows explanation in conversation. A short introduction helps establish tone. Read the sample label before comparing videos, and request a recent example that resembles your event when available.

Ask for the proposed takeaways and how the session can be customized. Technical implementation, legal advice and clinical instruction require their own scope and qualifications; confirm what a proposed session includes before booking.

Build a shortlist, then discuss fit.
