About Shane Gibson
Shane Gibson is a Vancouver sales trainer and author who co-founded Professional Sales Academy, a B2B sales training and AI sales enablement company. He first gave his keynote on AI and the future of sales in 2018, when that was still a novel idea, and it is now his most popular talk. He has written four books, including Sociable! and Real Results in a Virtual Economy: How to Future-Proof Your Business. At a Montreal conference he showed the audience an avatar of himself giving his talk in French and Mandarin, and watched them split between fascination and unease. Will AI help salespeople or replace them? His answer is both. Off stage he's usually in the Coast Mountains with his family.
