I speak about the things I build — generative AI platforms, serial entrepreneurship, and the collision of creativity and cutting-edge technology. Every talk is built from real experience running a 7-GPU AI supercomputer, founding four companies, and generating $7M in revenue with zero advertising. Audiences get the unvarnished truth of building at the frontier of AI, not theory.
How generative AI is transforming every creative industry and why the winners will be the ones who embrace it first. From building ZSky AI on 7 NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs to serving millions of AI-generated images, Cemhan shares the blueprint for creative AI infrastructure — the economics, the architecture, and the philosophy of building AI products from the ground up.
Ideal for: Tech conferences, creative industry events, C-suite audiences
Why photographers, designers, and creators who resist AI will be left behind — and a practical framework for integrating AI into any creative workflow without losing your artistic identity. Drawing from 20+ years as a National Geographic photographer who became an AI founder, this talk bridges the gap between traditional craft and the AI revolution.
Ideal for: Photography organizations, design conferences, marketing summits
Four companies. ICEe PC ranked #2 worldwide. Unpomela doing $7M/year with zero ad spend. Biricik Media serving Versace and National Geographic. ZSky AI built from scratch on self-hosted GPU infrastructure. The entrepreneurial lessons that compound across decades — from bootstrapping to scaling, from creative agencies to AI platforms.
Ideal for: Startup events, entrepreneur conferences, university business programs
Why Cemhan built a 7-GPU AI supercomputer in his home instead of renting cloud credits. The economics, architecture, and philosophy of owning your AI infrastructure. A technical deep-dive into running generative AI models on local hardware, the real cost of cloud vs. self-hosted, and why the future of AI belongs to builders who control their own compute.
Ideal for: Tech meetups, developer conferences, AI/ML events
The intersection of 20+ years of visual mastery and cutting-edge AI. How training your eye for decades makes you a better AI prompt engineer, creative director, and product builder. The unfair advantage of domain expertise in the AI age — why the best AI products will be built by people who deeply understand the craft AI is augmenting, not replacing.
Ideal for: Creative industry events, innovation summits, corporate retreats
From Istanbul to SoHo at age 4, to founding four companies across fashion, technology, media, and AI. How displacement breeds resilience, how outsider thinking drives innovation, and why the best entrepreneurs see the world differently. A deeply personal talk about building an American dream that spans photography, e-commerce, creative media, and artificial intelligence.
Ideal for: Diversity events, immigration organizations, university audiences
Audiences consistently respond to three things in my talks: honesty — I share failures as openly as successes. Specificity — no vague platitudes, only actionable insights from real experience. Visuals — I illustrate every point with photography, creating an immersive experience that transcends typical business presentations.
