“When I organised events at The Icehouse, Kevin was the speaker I wanted in the room. He spoke for us at the Tile Space conference, the Kinetic Electrical conference and a full-day workshop for Mahi Tahi in Nelson. Every audience was different, yet each one felt the session had been built for them. Owners left with a plan, not just a good feeling. Kevin’s combination of deep knowledge, broad business experience and ability to connect with any audience means an engaging session with practical impact. I’d book him again in a heartbeat.”
