AI Roadshow™
World-class AI education. Delivered to you.
Taught in person by its authors — Matthew Blakemore and Dr Angus Finney.
The training travels.
The standard doesn't.
Most AI training asks your people to travel to a hotel ballroom and forget it all by Friday. The Roadshow works the other way round — we bring the method to your building, and teach with your sector's cases, your constraints and your regulatory reality. All of it runs on the Snakes & Ladders AI Framework®, the ten-stage model behind the forthcoming book Snakes and Ladders (Routledge, May 2027).
One framework mapping the whole AI journey — and every snake in between.
A living library of documented AI successes and failures, filtered to your sector.
Yours. We handle the rest — hosts, materials, the game and the follow-up note.
Plain-English treatment of the rules that apply where you operate — EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001 and beyond.
Proof of travel.
Recent stops, unstaged.
Three formats.
One standard.
Two ready-to-book days and one programme engineered around your industry. Bands are indicative — every engagement is scoped and quoted individually.
The Half-Day Masterclass
- The state of AI, minus the hype
- The rules of your territory, in plain English
- The ten-stage map — where projects climb and slide
- The game round · leaders' Q&A
The Full-Day Immersion
- Everything in the half day
- Sector deep-dive with your cases
- Governance workshopping — draft your risk register live
- Hands-on tooling clinic · 30-day action plan
The Bespoke Industry Programme
- Curriculum engineered around your industry
- Board briefings to practitioner tracks
- Sector-specific case library & regulation
- Optional licensed Snakes & Ladders training game
A published running order.
Every stop follows a timetable, tuned to your sector — and to your territory’s regulation — on a pre-day discovery call. Doors 08:30; we arrive earlier to check the room.
Taught by the two people
who wrote the playbook.
No delegation, no franchise, no junior stand-ins. Every Roadshow is designed and delivered in person by its co-authors — one from the standards table, one from the business school.
Matthew Blakemore
Co-author of ISO/IEC 8183, the international AI data-lifecycle standard — one of four worldwide, adopted by CEN in 2024. Contributor to the EU AI Office's General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, five-year member of the BSI AI Standards Committee, patented AI inventor, and 250+ keynotes across 20+ countries.
Dr Angus Finney
Author of Human in the Loop and The International Film Business (Routledge) — an industry bible in its third edition. Former MD of Renaissance Films, a decade running Film London's Production Finance Market, and expert witness in the £1bn Ingenious film-finance case.
Together they wrote Snakes and Ladders: A Leader's Playbook for AI Strategy, Governance and Risk (Routledge, May 2027) — the framework every Roadshow runs on. If a date can't be delivered by its authors, we won't sell it.
This wasn't built from nothing.
The Roadshow distils a decade at the front of summit stages, MBA lecture halls, committee rooms and closed-door boardrooms.

He's not only very informative but downright inspiring. Matthew's ability to break down complex concepts into digestible nuggets is impressive, and his passion for the subject is contagious!
Guillermo HuertasSenior Partnerships Manager, London & Partners
I wholeheartedly recommend Matt for his expertise, effective moderation, and engaging presentation style.

The presentation was excellent, Matt is a very accomplished and engaging public speaker, as well as being highly knowledgeable.

Bands, not price lists.
Author-delivered education isn't a commodity, so we don't price it like one. The bands are honest boundaries; one exact figure follows a 30-minute scoping call, as a written proposal — usually within two working days.
Bands shown for a typical cohort — the day scales from a boardroom of ten to a full auditorium, and larger audiences are simply scoped on the call. Host travel within Greater London included; elsewhere quoted at cost, upfront. Figures exclude VAT. Every booking includes a pre-day discovery call, materials for each delegate, the game round, and a written summary note.

Enquiry received — you're on the route.
Your ticket is stamped and your reference is shown on the stub. We'll reply within one working day to arrange the scoping call, and your written proposal usually follows within two working days of that.

Questions we hear
at every stop.
Anywhere in the UK as standard — offices, factories, campuses, conference venues. Europe and further afield by arrangement. Host travel within Greater London is included; elsewhere it's quoted at cost in your proposal, so there are no surprises.
The two authors — Matthew Blakemore and Dr Angus Finney. No junior stand-ins, no franchise trainers. If a date can't be delivered by its authors, we won't sell it.
As many as your room holds. The day is built to scale — from a boardroom of ten to a full auditorium — with the game round and Q&A run in table teams so nobody spectates. Tell us the expected number in your enquiry and the proposal is scoped to it.
A room that seats your group, a screen or projector, and Wi-Fi. We bring everything else: printed materials, the game, and our own backup kit. For the full-day tooling clinic, delegates bring the laptops they normally work on.
Every delegate receives a certificate of completion, and the curriculum is grounded in ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894 and the EU AI Act. Where your professional body requires structured CPD evidence, we align the documentation at scoping.
Because two "full days" are rarely the same engagement — location, cohort, sector depth and follow-up all move the figure. The bands on this page are honest boundaries, and your written proposal states one exact number before you commit anything.
Yes — we run a venue-partner model with a negotiated revenue share. Everything about it lives on the venue partners page.
We reply within one working day to arrange a 30-minute scoping call. A written proposal follows, usually within two working days. Dates are only confirmed once you accept it — the enquiry itself commits you to nothing.
