Speaking, hosting and workshops.

Story, persuasion and how B2B tech companies sell to senior buyers. On stage, in the boardroom, around the table.

Dan Ilett on stage

I speak, host events and run workshops on story, persuasion and how B2B companies sell to senior buyers. In 2025 I interviewed heavyweight boxing prospect Moses Itauma in front of City C-level executives for The Executive Summary Live and there are more of these to come. I host formal dinners and panels.

Most of my paid workshop work runs through The Proposition where I run the accelerators in London. For keynotes, panels, conference slots, hosting and away days, get in touch through the contact page.

Story, growth and AI accelerators · London All on theproposition.co
No. 01 · Scale

Scale.

For founders past five million in revenue who need a story that survives a board, an analyst and a customer at the same time.

Workshop page No. 02 · Stress Test

Stress Test.

Bring your pitch. Leave with the version that holds up under questions the CFO will actually ask.

Workshop page No. 03 · Flip It

Flip It.

Take a stuck proposition and rebuild it from the buyer outwards over half a day in a sharp room. You leave with something you can run on Monday.

Workshop page No. 04 · AI for Growth

Harnessing AI for Growth.

Where AI actually changes a B2B pipeline, how to talk about it without sounding like everyone else and what to ignore.

// Hosting

I host formal dinners, panels and the Executive Summary Live format on stage. Twenty years of interviewing chief executives means the questions land and the room moves.
