# AI Now, Next, Never

Cutting through hype to drive measurable impact

Most leadership teams have made AI an executive priority. Very few understand what they are actually deciding. This session changes that.

AI Now, Next, Never is a keynote or workshop by Ramy Nassar, a Canadian futurist, author and keynote speaker and the former Head of Innovation at Mattel, built for executive teams, boards, and leadership summits. Keynotes run 30 to 90 minutes and workshops 90 minutes to a full day, in person or virtually, in English, French, or German.

Drawing on decades of hands-on experience building and deploying AI for some of the world’s largest brands, Ramy gives leaders clarity on what matters now, what is coming next, and what they can confidently set aside. He shares practical use cases and scalable frameworks that demystify the AI landscape, helping executives identify opportunities, avoid common pitfalls, and build responsibly.
