Speaking Information
I like teaching people.
And I’m oddly comfortable in front of a crowd, which works out well.
Over the past few years, I’ve spoken in front of thousands of people and helped them better understand email, the web, and marketing—giving them the resources and knowledge they need to improve their work, grow their businesses, and connect with subscribers and customers in the process.
Whether it’s a conference talk or a lengthy workshop, I focus on using practical examples and hands-on learning to make sure everyone takes something away that can be implemented immediately.
I’m available for conference talks, workshops, webinars, and the occasional consulting gig. Email me to get the conversation started.
Upcoming Events
Coronavirus is taking its toll on conferences this year, but right now I’m scheduled to be at:
- Oracle MBX: Postponed until September 21-24.
- Litmus Live 2020: Monthly in 2020.
