"Tony's presentation went down extremely well with our audience. He is hugely well informed and has a very engaging presenting style ...Our event was presented 'in the round,' and we were using interactive voting screens during the day. Tony was very happy to adapt to the demands of these two features, and fully engaged with both ideas. This meant that the audience was able to have a real two-way conversation with Tony. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others."
