With Tim Ash
Keynote Description
Unleash Your Primal Brain:
Tapping the unconscious to move people to action
Drop a rock. It falls and hits the ground.
Once you understand brain evolution, many of our decisions will become easily predictable. To a scary degree, we are walking robots with knee-jerk responses, and not the rational geniuses with free will that we like to imagine.
What if you understood how the brain really makes decisions, and could consistently influence it? In this dynamic keynote, bestselling author and neuromarketing expert Tim Ash will teach you key strategies for influencing the primitive and irrational parts of the brain that are really in charge of our actions. You’ll learn how to tap powerful universal motivations and automatic responses to deliver your marketing message on-target every time.
Walk away with a new perspective on the brain, and several durable and practical strategies for ethically influencing your audience.
Are you ready to be inspired?
Only an illogical person would miss this session…

The Experience
Dozens of event organizers around the world rave about me and ask for return appearances! Why? Because I am focused on the entire experience: before, during and after the event.
Promotion & Audience Understanding
I’m committed to passionately influencing people, which means I’m more than happy to do whatever I can to help get your audience excited and prepared for the event. Whether it’s a video or a podcast interview, I want to help get them thinking before they arrive.
For most events I provide any or all of the following:
- Provide you with all of the event-planner assets that you will need
- Create a custom event promotional video (1-2 minutes)
- Write a dynamic email that you can send to promote my appearance
- Record an interview for blog posts or podcasts
I also believe that a great keynote requires thoughtful preparation. That means truly understanding your audience and customizing the presentation to ensure the message hits home. Here are my notes about your audience based on our discussion:
- Admins who run medical practices
- At in-person events they are members of Saudi and UAE associations
- Sent there by very successful doctors who are often popular on social media
- Money to attend events is typically not a problem
- Very basic understanding of marketing
- In the Gulf countries English is more common, Arabic countries are harder
During The Event
Unlike many speakers, I prefer to stay the full day or full-event (when possible.) Why? Because I know that when attendees have the chance to interact with your keynote speakers they’re able to get their questions answered and take more away from the event.
So make the most of my time while I’m there:
- Organize a book signing
- Do a breakout session
- Attend cocktail hour
- Participate on a panel
- Have a VIP lunch table
- Conduct office hours
I’m open to almost anything. What can I do to help you make this event memorable? Let’s brainstorm.
After The Event
As an event organizer, I know how exhausting running an event can be. That’s why we want to ensure you’re armed with the necessary assets to make all your event follow-up, easy, fun, and memorable.
Within one day of the event’s end we’ll provide any of the following:
- A link to the presentation deck to share with every attendee
- A short reminder video to keep people focused and inspired when they get back to the office
- A podcast interview or blog post interview about the event
- A follow-up 30-min online session a few months after the event
