A few weeks ago, I had the honor of presenting at Sydney’s Amplify festival, which was hosted by AMP, one of the largest financial institutions in Australia. I spoke three times, from workshops and keynotes. A majority of the attendees were employees from AMP, and a sprinkling of folks from outside also attended.
What struck me as very fascinating was how this event, which was organized by Annalie Killian, was leading the charge of innovation at the firm. I asked her title and she told me she was the “Director of Magic”, and boy did she deliver. It’s rare to see organizations to fund innovation events as much as AMP does, but a great way to learn is to bring in outside presenters and share their vision.
You can see ALL the youtube videos, (there are four) and I’ve embedded the first one below with the accompanying slides. For this event, I focused on friendly interaction, group exercises, over 18 examples from the regulated space, and providing pragmatic recommendations for the regulated space in this 2 hour session involving a few hundred folks.
Part 1 embedded below, see parts 2, 3, and 4, here.

Awesome presentation – one of the few missed in Sydney live! Great to have put all together Jeremiah 🙂
Thanks Ralf!
Jeremiah, I just watched all four videos and this presentation is fantastic! So very comprehensive! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for the kind words!
A pleasure Jeremiah! It is always the spoken word that sparks new ideas, that when put into words on paper (could be electronic one as well ;-)) lead to new action.

What is your one-sentence advice on a project with roughly 10-day preparation raising a five-digit amount of money covering the trip (two people)?

Ralf, can you give more details on this project, I really need more context.
Hi Jeremiah- got back 3 hours ago from my post-Amplify recovery holiday in Turkey and Greece and just saw this post. Thank you for sharing and for the lovely compliments on the work of Amplify to catalyse innovation and grow the internal appreciation and understanding of conversational technologies and how they can be used to create customer and business value. Your contribution was one of the highlights of a fantastic week and you will be pleased to know you have helped spur positive actions and adoptions! Â Annalie Killian aka Catalyst for Magic, AMP
Thanks again for being a great hostess and glad you had a good vacay!
Glad you had the time to visit Australia! 🙂

Business presentation or any other presentation needs to be very exciting, captivating and full of information. There are lots of ways on how to do presentation and I believe the videos I’ve seen in here is one of the best.
