Testimonials

“Dave was more of a conference partner than just a keynote speaker. He spent time getting to know us and the conference so he could provide the most value to our audience — and helped us generate buzz in advance. The presentation got rave reviews. After a full day of learning, Dave kept the crowd engaged with his energy, real-life examples, and crowd participation.”

John Zanzarella, Producer
Westchester Digital Summit

“When I asked him to be the keynote speaker for Community Manager Recharge, he was everything I was hoping for and more. Dave brought a presence to the event that took it to a whole other level. He's the best of both worlds: a social media celebrity and an amazing, relatable person.”

‍

Ben Blakesley, Organizer
Community Manager Recharge

“Dave is charming, engaging and knowledgeable. He was able to breathe life into our event in the closing hours and, in my opinion, delivered the perfect keynote. He's a high-quality executive for sure, but more importantly he's a high-quality human being."

Christopher Dessi, Founder
Westchester Digital Summit

“People skills — they can't be computerized, outsourced, or reduced to a rubric. That's why Dave Kerpen's The Art of People is more important now than ever.”

Daniel H. Pink, Author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

“Delegation is one of the most important lessons every leader must learn. Get Over Yourself maps out how to build a loyal and self-sufficient team so that you can focus your energy on the big picture without burning out.”
