Formats
Keynotes
Forty-five minutes that leave a room with something they can do on Monday. Recent themes: AI literacy for people who run real businesses, why trust has drained out of advertising, and what the move from full-time jobs to contracting means for everyone in the room.
Panels and fireside chats
Opinionated, happy to disagree, and not interested in the safe answer. Conference organisers book Dante when a panel needs someone who will say what the room is thinking.
Workshops from the stage
Half-day and full-day sessions for conferences and industry events. Participants leave with a plan written in their own hand, not a PDF they will never open.

04 About
The human
The world changed when the internet arrived and nobody handed out the manual. Most people are confused and hesitant about it. Dante's job is to fix that.
Full-time jobs became contracts. Retail went online. Advertising lost its trust. Dante St James has spent three business cycles on the receiving end of those shifts, and now helps others get ahead of them: founder of Clickstarter Education, Entrepreneur in Residence at Darwin Innovation Hub, and one of five Meta-contracted Lead Trainers across Australia and New Zealand.
The vision is simple. People in control of their own lives. Businesses growing without burning out their owners. Organisations that actually reach the goals they put on the wall.
