A leader in the "open" movement, David Eaves invigorates audiences with talks on the new transparency. How are corporations and government agencies becoming more efficient—and more accountable? What does it mean for consumers, constituents and employees who demand nothing less? Eaves shows how you can—and should—adopt open sensibilities, crunch data in new ways, and embrace social media like never before.
Highlights "If it isn’t available in open and machine readable format, it can’t engage. If a legal framework doesn’t allow it to be repurposed, it doesn’t empower."
Book Speaker

David Eaves knows how to open things up. He's an expert in public policy, strategy, open government, open source, negotiation and collaboration, and recognized public thinker all wrapped up in one. As one of North America's most exciting public policy entrepreneurs he is retained by governments to advise on these burgeoning fields. Eaves' expertise in the realm of technology and transparency makes him an ideal speaker for governments interested in open data and social media, but also any company or group confronting disruptive innovation, engaging in social marketing, social media, mobile marketing, and crowdsourcing.

As a negotiation expert, David Eaves advises on critical negotiations, such as the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, and helps create opportunities where there are currently log jams. As a public thinker he is a prolific writer, contributing to The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star and has published chapters in books like O'Reilly Media's Open Government and EMP's textbook The New Journalist, all while posting regularly to his own influential blog.

It doesn't end there.  For example, Eaves recently gave a talk to the Canadian Real Estate Association on disruption, strategies for openness and the future of the real estate industry. A sought after speaker, he is frequently invited by everyone from executives to students to speak on issues relating to policy making, strategy and negotiation.

In addition to his writing and advocacy, Eaves sits on the executive of Vision Vancouver (a municipal political party) and the advisory board of CivicCommons. He recently served as a sponsor and adviser of the Apps 4 Climate Action competition and sat on the Steering Committee of the Environics Institute's Urban Aboriginal People's Survey. A graduate of Queen's and Oxford University, David lives in Vancouver, BC.


  • Open Government

    Open technologies and organizations, which stress transparent information and multi-channel cooperation, have changed the way we live. Wikipedia has revolutionized free and public information and Mozilla has opened the internet browser market to true competition. Policy expert David Eaves asks—if this approach has proven to be so successful, how come government still operates in a world full of red tape and closed channels? In this mind-opening talk, Eaves brings a new perspective to what the government of the future should look like—and why we need to start these changes now.


  • Collaborating in a Networked World

    David Eaves is more than just an expert on public policy—he is also a trained and experienced negotiator. In our new information economy, information that was previously restricted is quickly becoming public. Now that information is open, the need to have clear communications within organizations is incredibly important. Eaves uses his in-depth knowledge of negotiations and organizational structure to help tackle your organizations communications problems head on. Bringing clear, concise strategies and real-life examples to each talk, Eaves talks with unparalleled passion and pinpoint wit.


  • Real Estate in a World of Open Innovation

    In this talk, open innovation expert David Eaves looks at how the world of real estate is changing to adapt to emerging technologies, social media and big data. The real estate industry is unique in it's institutions and governing principles, and new disruptive tools and technologies are beginning to change the way people do business. How will these shifts  and technologies change the relationships between real estate boards, brokers, agents and buyers? What trends will emerge within the industry in the next decade? And how can a massive restructuring of the real estate industry lead to happier home buyers and more stable markets? Eaves gives audiences a top-down view of the real estate industry, outlining the issues it faces today—and what it will look like in the future.
     

  • Ontario Hot Mix Producers Association

    I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your efforts in helping to secure David Eaves as our keynote speaker at our annual AGM and conference last week. David came well prepared and gave a remarkably engaging and interesting presentation that literally had people buzzing throughout the remainder of the day. Without exception, everyone I spoke to for feedback pointed to David as the highlight of our program. Personally, I’ve sat through many conference agendas and I found David to be among the most relevant speakers I’ve had the opportunity to listen to. His ability to bring his message home to the road paving and asphalt industry in a very matter of fact and understandable way was especially well handled and certainly appreciated by our stakeholders. I would highly recommend David as a leading edge, thought-provoking speaker appropriate for any forward-thinking association or organization.
