Conversations about Creative Sovereignty, intellectual property, AI governance, and what it means to build something valuable in a rapidly changing world.
Speaking & Events
Shannon Villalba is an intellectual property attorney, founder, speaker, and educator with a perspective that is genuinely rare at the intersection of creative industries, entrepreneurship, technology, and artificial intelligence.
She has taught GPT workshops to attorneys, built a custom AI ecosystem for her own firm, worked in entertainment and video production, and spent more than two decades helping founders understand what they've built and how to protect it.
She doesn't speak about these topics from theory. She speaks from experience.
Why Audiences Invite Shannon
Shannon's audiences don't leave with more to read. They leave with decisions made, priorities clear, and a sharper understanding of what they own and what they need to protect.
That's what happens when the speaker has been the founder, the creative, the attorney, and the AI builder…
not just one of them.
