TESTIMONIALS

Here's what David Rowan - Keynote Speaker's clients said:

Thank you for such an inspiring keynote speech. It was forward thinking (using the time machine both ways), refreshing and inspiring.

CEO, Toluna

Great presentation, came across very well, perfect for the audience.

BT Expedite

Accomplished speaker, delivered to the brief.

Fujitsu

David was probably the best speaker we’ve ever had.

The feedback I received on your session was universally positive and I think the tone was absolutely right for the audience.

British Council of Offices, Geneva

Great feedback from the audience. Hopefully we will be able to do something similar again.

Nokia

International Hotel Investment Forum, Berlin
The feedback from the day has been overwhelmingly positive, which is largely due to your dynamism, good humour and professionalism.

David Cameron, Prime Minister, G8 Innovation Conference

David was a great speaker - he was prepared, authoritative and adaptable to change. He was also very easy to work with.

Edelman

The feedback we received about your plenary was amazing. Everybody is raving to me about your plenary. It was fantastic!

WebTrends

If you want to get a steer on the future you can do worse than look to Wired UK editor David Rowan. He’s a man who’s taken William Gibson’s quote – “the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet” – to heart, and thus spends his time hunting for glimpses of tomorrow today. Toluna brought him along to their 10th birthday celebration/conference, held yesterday on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, to chart a possible future for the research industry. The view from both the speaker and the venue was dizzying.

Research-live.com

The audience was just amazed and we received a huge amount of positive feedbacks. We hope to deal with you again in the near future.

TradeDoubler

Your presentation was superb. We might need you for other speaking opportunities in the near future.

CEO, IMS

You were the absolute star of the event. Clients feedback on the event was very positive!
