Welcome Event Professionals!
You're looking for more than a keynote. You're looking for the moment everyone remembers.
Choosing the right keynote speaker is one of the most important decisions an event professional makes. Today's audiences don't need another presentation. They need an experience.
That's exactly what I create—and why Smart Meetings recognized me with a 2026 Smart Speaker Award in the Energizing Agents category.
My full-throttle keynote experiences combine the energy of a concert with the neuroscience of behavior change. Picture a ballroom where leaders aren't checking their phones—they're singing. They're laughing. They're dancing. They're clapping in rhythm with complete strangers. Familiar television themes, movie clips, commercial jingles, music, humor, and audience participation create a shared experience unlike anything they've experienced at a conference before.
The result is more than a standing ovation. It's the catalyst that transforms a great conference into an unforgettable one.
Following are the bureau-friendly Speaker Assets that will help you in expediting your planning process:
