Stu Atkins is an expert on tech trends, digital disruption, social media, and online sales and marketing. An insatiable digital entrepreneur, Stu has founded multiple businesses including an online retail company, an online recruitment firm, and Social Seedling — a leading social media consultancy.
Prior to launching his own ventures, Stu worked extensively with REA Group (realestate.com.au) and News Corp / News Digital Media, gaining firsthand insight into the evolution of digital platforms, media, and consumer behaviour.
As a professional keynote speaker and trainer, Stu has presented to more than 40,000 business professionals across Australia and internationally. Known for his informal, relaxed, and highly engaging style, he challenges audiences to think differently about technology, disruption, and innovation. His philosophy is simple: every attendee should leave with at least three practical takeaways they can implement immediately to improve their online, tech, and social capability.
Stu explores the accelerating pace of change in today’s digital landscape — where immediacy, personalisation, communication, and connection are critical to driving productivity and profitability. He helps organisations understand emerging tools, shifting consumer expectations, and the strategies competitors are using to stay ahead.
Beyond technology, Stu also addresses a critical modern challenge: as digital communication increases, genuine human connection often declines. He refocuses audiences on how to build rapport, engage meaningfully, and strengthen relationships in a digital-first world.
Stu leaves audiences inspired, informed, and ready to prepare for the next phase of disruption.
