If you’re looking for a keynote speaker who can truly connect with your audience—through laughter, music, and meaningful insight—look no further than Rory Gardiner. He’s bringing serious energy to the 2025 Speaker Showcase, and we’re thrilled to have him on board!

Rory is more than just a speaker. He’s an award-winning entertainer, CCMA-nominated country artist, comedian, and professional emcee. With over two decades of experience on international stages, Rory blends humor and heart in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

Why Rory Gardiner Stands Out

Rory doesn’t deliver cookie-cutter presentations. Every talk is customized, drawing on his background in comedy, music, and storytelling to create moments that audiences remember—and talk about long after the event is over.

Whether he’s hosting a large-scale event or delivering a keynote for a corporate team, Rory has a knack for reading the room, keeping the energy high, and inspiring meaningful reflection—all while getting people to laugh.

Here’s what makes Rory a standout speaker:

  • Customized keynotes that mix humor and insight to connect with any audience

  • Seasoned emcee skills that keep the program on track (and fun!)

  • Engaging content designed to motivate, uplift, and energize

  • A career filled with highlights, from Canada’s Got Talent and TEDx to sharing the stage with Keith Urban

More Than Entertainment—It’s Perspective

Rory’s mission is clear: to help audiences shift their mindset, embrace challenges, and find confidence in the uncomfortable. In his own words:

“Discomfort isn’t the enemy—it’s the training ground for success.”

It’s this refreshing outlook—delivered with wit and authenticity—that makes Rory such a powerful presence on stage.

Whether you’re planning a conference, team meeting, or celebration, Rory brings a one-of-a-kind combination of talent, humor, and heart.
