Drue Kataoka

"If you're in a situation where you want someone to speak to an audience, and really make a difference— get them thinking differently, coming out of their shoes with excitement, and really getting to change their perspective about things related to art, and philosophy, technology, and history—Drue Kataoka is the person you want to talk to. We brought her in to speak to one of our audiences five years ago, and I became an instant fan. Right after that, when this new AI technology was emerging, and I wanted to get my head around how this might happen. I went to visit Drue and her husband at their home and spent half a day with them. And it changed my perspective. I think it readied me for what changes that were likely to come, and how it would impact me personally and professionally. So, if you want to be inspired—if you want someone who will gonna get your audience really thinking and coming to you saying, “Thanks, that was really an interesting talk. And it really changed how I think about things.”—then call my friend Drue Kataoka. You won’t be disappointed."

"Drue's artistic talent is matched only by her fascinating experiences and outstanding storytelling. She came to Dent prepared and delivered a wonderful and inspiring talk. In our survey, attendees gave her session one of the best ratings we've ever seen, saying they were "moved to tears," and "blown away" by her talk."
