Who is Alexis Conran?
Alexis Conran is an internationally recognized keynote speaker, broadcaster, and expert in deception, scams, and social engineering. Widely known as the presenter of the BBC’s The Real Hustle, he gained rare, behind-the-scenes insight into the tactics used by fraudsters. This experience forms the foundation of his work today, where he helps organizations understand how manipulation works and how to defend against it.
With a career spanning television, radio, and live events, Alexis combines media expertise with deep knowledge of human behavior. As a Times Radio host and award-winning media personality, he has developed a communication style that makes complex topics clear, relevant, and engaging for any audience.
Unmasking deception in modern business
Scams today are more sophisticated than ever, often targeting human behavior rather than systems. Alexis Conran focuses on this critical gap. His keynotes explore how trust is built, how it is exploited, and why traditional security measures often fail.
Through real-world examples and compelling storytelling, he demonstrates how easily individuals and organizations can be manipulated. More importantly, he shows how to recognize these patterns and respond effectively.
Key themes Alexis covers include:
- The psychology behind scams and manipulation
- Social engineering and human vulnerability
