Speaking Engagements

M atthew E. May has a deep passion for ideas--the lifeblood of innovation and the main event of the imagination.

But not just any ideas. Only ideas that solve a difficult problem in an elegant way. Matt defines an elegant solution as one that is both uncommonly simple and surprisingly powerful, and that achieves the maximum effect with minimum means.

Matt shares his passion for elegant solutions when addressing audiences who want to create meaningful change, which makes him a popular keynote speaker, seminar leader, and workshop facilitator. He regularly speaks to conferences, companies, governments, associations and universities all over the world on achieving elegance and simplicity at the crossroads of business, innovation, and design.

Matt's ultimate aim in every talk is three-fold:

1. inspire new thinking
2. provide a unique perspective
3. deliver practical takeaways through entertaining storytelling

He blends his frontline experience as a creative catalyst and innovation strategist with case studies and stories in his books in order to deliver useful concepts with immediate application.

Matt does not fancy himself a "motivational speaker" or "business guru," but rather a practitioner of business innovation with lessons learned and war stories to tell from years in the trenches with companies ranging from small startups to companies as large and multinational as Toyota.
