IT’S ABOUT TIME
Being exceptional on the platform used to be the only thing that really mattered, but that’s no longer the case. Meeting planners have a new standard by which all presenters are being judged, and to abuse it – or take it for granted – is the quickest way to shorten your career.
Hall of Fame speaker Eric Chester, CSP, CPAE, leads a renowned line-up of presenters who will change the way you prepare for every presentation, and transform the way you present your message.
