TESTIMONIALS

Brett recently spoke for us at NetFinance 2014 in Miami. Our high level of attendees are not that easy to impress but given the huge round of applause after the presentation, the follow-up questions & the fact that out of 80 speakers Brett's presentation had the highest rating, I would highly recommend him as a speaker at any other show.

Brett was an absolutely fantastic closing keynote for our 2018 Summit. It was such an engaging presentation; he is so natural on stage, very conversational, answered all the audience questions (who just loved him), and was not rushed to leave—he really gave us his time and finished our event on a high. Feedback from our delegates has been excellent. We were so impressed and would highly recommend Brett. Cheers.
