Momentum AI | Speaker, Strategist & Advisor
Craig Turner
AI, business, and the economic future of communities.
Craig Turner is the founder of Momentum AI. He helps business leaders, chambers, associations, and communities understand what AI means for the way they work, compete, and grow, and what to do about it.
His work connects two questions: how can an organization put AI to work today, and what do the changes AI brings mean for its economic future? Through keynotes, leadership briefings, advisory work, training, and custom solutions, Craig makes that connection practical.
Business and community experience
Craig’s career spans media relations, public relations, government affairs, marketing, website development, strategic planning, internal and external communications, and association management. His chamber and business-organization experience shapes his perspective on AI: start with the people, employers, and communities affected by the change.
His focus on AI and economic development connects Main Street competitiveness, changing customer behavior, workforce capacity, and community readiness. His keynote The New Center of Gravity brings those issues together for business and community leaders.
Strategy grounded in implementation
Craig’s perspective is informed by building and using AI, not simply discussing it. Momentum AI develops custom AI solutions, tools, dashboards, and operational systems around the way a company actually works. Its products include MemberBoost AI for chambers of commerce and Momentum AI Essentials.
His niche is the last mile of AI: understanding the human processes, decisions, and handoffs that determine whether a technology becomes useful. Businesses should not have to reshape themselves to fit someone else’s software.
Corporate consulting and implementation remain central to that work, alongside strategic conversations about what AI means for businesses and communities.
Speaking and practical AI education
Craig has personally trained more than 2,500 organizations nationwide. His presentations connect complex technology to relatable examples, practical decisions, and the work audiences already need to do.
Programs range from strategic keynotes and executive briefings to customized, hands-on training. He brings the lessons of his own experiments, client work, and chamber experience to the stage, including what worked, what did not, and where people need to stay involved.
