World Renowned
Eloquent Speaker

Howdy, I’m Ahmad Awais. Nice to e-meet you.

If something excites me,I ship it—openly, iteratively, and fast. Knowledge compounds when it’s shared, so I default to public by design. I’m share-what-you-know kindov a guy.

I’ve practically lived on the road for the last five years, and no, I wasn’t hitchhiking. I average 30‑plus conferences, meetups, and workshops annually; at this point, my parents joke I’m basically a walking TED Talk. 😅

Many people hate spotlight (I get stomach butterflies too) but I’ve mastered holding an audience’s attention (still got the stage fright though). You know, those little interactions—the nods, the smiles, and even the occasional raised eyebrow—make it all worth it. That’s the magic—the real connection. Probably chat with me about this after my talk, haha.

Sure, I once spoke and conducted a workshop for six straight hours.  But it’s thanks to the people in the audience, who stayed engaged and didn’t chuck a single chair at me. 😎

This page lists a non-exhaustive list of my talks and all other speaking engagements. For organizers, I also maintain a speaker-bio and speaker-terms page. Check it out, or feel free to get in touch.

It’s been a privilege to share, learn, and grow through these experiences. Here goes nothing…
