Speaking

Experience worth bringing to the room.

Will Lucas is an entrepreneur, investor, media executive, and civic leader who brings an operator’s clarity to keynotes, live events, and consequential conversations.

Three ways to work together.

Every role is different. The standard is the same: know the room, respect the audience, and make the time matter.

Keynote speaker

Original, story-led talks grounded in the real work of building companies, platforms, and places.

Event host

A steady hand for the room: clear, prepared, energetic, and able to carry a program from open to close.

Moderator

Deep preparation, sharper questions, and conversations that give both the guests and the audience somewhere meaningful to go.

The work behind the perspective.

Will speaks from operating experience across sectors—not from the sidelines. Programs can be shaped around one focus or connect the ideas that sit between them.

  • Technology, AI, and what comes next
  • Entrepreneurship, ownership, and the work of scale
  • Hospitality, real estate, and building places people choose
  • Media, culture, and the business of audience
  • Capital, access, and Black economic opportunity
  • Civic leadership and the future of underestimated cities
