In addition to the content, his fast-paced, colloquial, dynamic delivery style is nothing like what the crowd is used to, and very much appreciated by the audience (and it made us look good for broadening the minds of our attendees!). He took the time to look at examples that made sense to our audience, from their industry, which was very much appreciated. Fantastic opening keynote.”
