Mitch Mitchem

Keynote speaker and comedian on the new rules of being human in the age of AI. Second City-trained. Based in Orlando, FL, travels nationwide. Easy to book, clean, interactive and built so your room does not flop. Mitch Mitchem is a Second City-trained improviser who took the stage and never really left. Three decades, 4,000+ presentations, 10M+ people, 12 countries, and a TEDx talk. He has trained 125,000+ people on AI, uses 100+ AI agents every day, and turns all of it into a funny, practical keynote your people can use on Monday. WHAT YOUR PEOPLE GET Mitch does not lecture. Your audience laughs, moves, talks to each other and practices the ideas before they leave the room. They walk out with plain-English new rules for working with AI and with each other, not a tool demo and not a scare story. His own promise to planners: "There are no bad audiences. There are only speakers who don't know how to control the room." WHY IT WON'T FLOP Second City-trained improv means he reads your room and adjusts live. He customizes the talk to your theme, your audience and the language your organization already uses, with a prep call 2 to 4 weeks out. Clean, high energy, and as edgy or boardroom-friendly as you want it.
