“Having Mark as a keynote speaker at our event was a great experience in every way.

Although we had to postpone his participation agreed for 2020 due to Covid (a week before the event) rescheduling everything so that he could give his talk in 2022 was a really simple process. And once everything got moving again, it flowed in a positive way and Mark and his team were very responsive to what we needed.

During his stay in Mexico, Mark was very warm, willing to collaborate and to contribute with our brand, which we highly appreciate because he not only came to give a lecture but to make long-term relationships.

Also, his lecture was very sharp, with valuable, inspiring and eye-opening information, sharing concrete examples so our audience could acknowledge what's coming and how to be prepared.

Our community was very pleased and we hope we'll be able to have Mark as our speaker in the future.”

in Mexico City… Ilse Maubert Roura, Content Manager at THE LOGISTICS WORLD SUMMIT & EXPO

You made me remember those days when I studied at MIT, because every talk we had changed our mindset, and that’s something I felt after attending you conference :)”

“In the past 11 or so years, I've probably worked on over 400 conferences involving literally thousands of speakers. I can honestly say that I've never come across so many top marks on delegate feedback forms for a speaker than I have with Mark.

When you put on an event, the speakers are simply fundamental to its success and I would not hesitate to recommend Mark. Not just extremely knowledgeable, but truly engaging. He leaves a lasting memory and that's probably got a lot to do with the fact that he's also just a really nice guy who has time for even the simplest of questions.

He's also incredibly good value for money, which is why we've used him a few times now (and for us to go back to the same speaker time and again is saying something). Highly recommended."
