Walt Hickey

Book me to talk

I love speaking with readers, industry, students and those interested in finding better ways to communicate with numbers. I have extensive experience, am comfortable in a university environment or at an industry conference, and can specifically tailor the content toward the interests and expertise of your audience.

Following the publication of my book in 2023, I am particularly excited to speak to audiences about the wide-ranging effects that movies and pop culture have on audiences and the world as a whole, articulating data-driven insights about how these stories motivate people far beyond a screen.

Recent highlights of my speaking work include:

Walt Hickey Keynote Address Cinema Vision 2030

I’m down to work with groups big and small about all sorts of topics related to my work, whether it’s walking undergrads in a stats course through how an article was written with the very techniques they’re learning or speaking in a corporate setting about how to effectively communicate compelling numbers.

I am always delighted to speak to students, and have guest lectured or offered a colloquium at schools that include New York University, The New School, University of California Santa Barbara, The University of Virginia, American University, West Chester University and more, speaking to classes in mathematics, statistics, and media.
