Panels, Presentations, & Keynotes

Are you afraid that a presentation from a software developer will be inherently dry and boring (and maybe monotonous)? Let me assuage you of that idea! I speak at conferences about technical things, like AI and User Interface Design, as well as less technical things, like Startups, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership. I have won Hackathons and spoken to audiences of all sizes about tools and processes that we use to help our clients. I enjoy the challenge of translating technical experience into stories that even the least tech-savvy folks can appreciate – and on the opposite end, I love giving presentations that include live coding demos. I can design a custom presentation or keynote to meet your audience’s needs!

Observing AI in the Wild: A Nature Documentary of Live Development

What happens when you let an AI build software in front of a live audience, and film it like a nature documentary?

In this talk, the audience picks what to build. Then we watch Claude Code work: reading documentation, making architectural decisions, writing tests, hitting errors, recovering. I narrate in real time—David Attenborough style—explaining what the AI is doing and why. Nothing is pre-built. Nothing is rehearsed. The audience sees real software development, with all the false starts and "oh, that's interesting" moments that make engineering fascinating.

This format has been delivered at Esri Developer Summit 2026, the Memphis MAGIC webinar, and university guest lectures. Each time the audience picks a different project, and each time something unexpected happens.

Don't Panic, It's Just AI: A Developer's Handbook 

In a world where AI has become as ubiquitous as towels are to interstellar hitchhikers (ifykyk), one developer stands ready to guide you through the galaxy of possibilities and pitfalls.

"Don't Panic, It's Just AI: A Developer's Handbook" is your essential guide to navigating the often bewildering landscape of artificial intelligence. More controversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters "Where AI Came From," "Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes," and "Who is this Siri Person Anyway?", this handbook is a must-have for any developer looking to harness the power of AI without resorting to Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters to cope with the absurdity of it all.

Through real-world examples and live demonstrations, Christopher Moravec will show you how to:

Evaluate AI tools without losing your mind. The galaxy is full of AI products promising to revolutionize everything. Learn which ones are actually useful, which are mostly hype, and how to tell the difference before you've wasted a week on something that doesn't deliver.

Build faster without building garbage. AI can genuinely accelerate your work — writing code, processing data, automating the tedious stuff. But only if you know how to wield it. You'll see practical workflows that actually speed things up, from GeoAI to Large Language Models.

Maintain your creativity and critical thinking. This is the part most AI talks skip. AI can easily become a crutch that flattens your thinking — you accept the first suggestion, stop iterating, stop questioning. But it doesn't have to be that way. Christopher will show you how to use AI as a creative collaborator rather than a replacement for your brain: how to prompt in ways that spark new ideas instead of closing them down, how to stay curious when autocomplete is always one tab away, and how to build workflows that make you sharper, not lazier.

So, whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey, join Christopher for a wild ride through the galaxy of AI possibilities. It's time to stop panicking and start problem-solving. Remember: Don't Panic, and always know where your towel is.
