REVIEWS:
“In addition, he’s also organised down to the detail in terms of logistics which makes me as an organiser calm to know he’ll deliver quality content to the audience.
Chris is a wonderful person and you’d be fortunate to meet him, if only to pick his brilliant mind or to chat over a cup of coffee. I’m hoping to work with him in the near future again and I’d recommend anyone to contact him if you need a little eye-opening!”
“Chris Dancy’s keynote got more #1 votes by 2x than next closest talk. Chris Dancy was brilliant!
