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
  • Why intelligent professionals fall for fraud
  • How trust and communication impact security
  • Building awareness that translates into action

His approach ensures that audiences don’t just understand the risks—they remember them and act differently because of them.

 

Book Alexis Conran for your event

When you book Alexis Conran for your event, you bring in more than a keynote speaker. You bring in a specialist who has spent over a decade educating the public and organizations about deception and fraud.

His client list includes global organizations such as Google, IBM, VISA, RBS, and The Metropolitan Police. Across industries including finance, technology, and the public sector, Alexis has helped reshape how teams think about risk and responsibility.

From awareness to action

One of the defining strengths of Alexis Conran is his ability to turn awareness into practical change. Many organizations understand that fraud and manipulation are risks, but struggle to translate that knowledge into daily behavior.

Alexis bridges that gap. He shows how small shifts in thinking and communication can significantly reduce vulnerability. His sessions encourage teams to question assumptions, slow down decision-making when needed, and recognize red flags that might otherwise be missed.

The result is a stronger, more resilient organization where security is not just a system—but a shared mindset.
