Speaking

Gord Hume is well known for his passionate and compelling speeches and presentations. Gord has spoken at conferences in Asia, Europe, the United States and across Canada.  He has become recognized as one of Canada’s leading authorities and commentators on Creative Cities, Cultural Planning, the Local Food Revolution and the dramatic rise of the importance of municipal government on our rapidly changing communities and society.

Gord has spoken to many Municipal Councils across Canada, as well as major municipal conferences and conventions. He has been the keynote speaker at such significant international conferences as the UNESCO Creative Cities Conference in South Korea. He has been a featured speaker at many conferences and seminars on topics ranging from Cultural Planning for towns and cities to how food is driving municipalities and changing communities. He has been a guest lecturer at universities and colleges across Canada and the United States. Gord also has been the keynote speaker at a wide variety of business conferences and national conventions for industries ranging from food producers to heavy construction.

And after all of these presentations, the reactions are similar: “You hit a home run, Gord!” according to a conference organizer in Alberta. “Your presentation was exactly what we had hoped and had the impact we were looking for,” according to a Nova Scotia municipal leader. “Your presentation was perfect. You could have heard a pin drop in the room, And then the questions were non-stop,” said an Ontario chief librarian and conference organizer. “Thanks for your inspiring message,” wrote a Canadian executive for a national business organization. “Your presentation on planning and cultural opportunities was magnificent—thank you so much,” stated an Alberta elected official.

And on it goes. Gord is a dynamic speaker who engages his audience.
