Speaking Portfolio

A man with dark hair, glasses, and a suit presenting at a conference. He is holding a yellow object in his right hand. The background includes a screen with the partially visible text 'my Sum...' and a red banner with the word 'ECONOMIST' repeated.

Richard Armstrong has keynoted on spatial computing, digital twins and immersive technology in the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United States of America, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia.

He speaks to two kinds of audiences: technology and infrastructure specialists who want architectural depth, and executive audiences who need a complex subject explained in plain language and turned into a decision.

The differentiator, stated plainly

A speaker on stage facing a large audience in a conference hall, with a headset microphone on, a headset on a table, and a water bottle visible.

Richard has worked hands-on with spatial computing hardware since 2016 and owns and uses Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, Bigscreen Beyond 2e, Magic Leap One and Microsoft HoloLens 2.

Where it adds value, he brings working headsets and puts the technology in the audience's hands rather than describing it from a lectern..

Where I’ve spoken

Internationally, across boardrooms, conference platforms, standards bodies and training rooms, sectors include government, justice, transport, automotive and the built environment.

Some of these were keynotes. Some were forty minutes in a windowless room with the people who actually have to make it work.
