“Warren provided an inspirational keynote at our annual Standards Publishing Advisory Board (SPAB) conference in Denver, Colorado, USA. Titled ‘Digital Business: The Tipping Point of Success’, his talk was engaging, entertaining (he coached an audience member to do the ‘moon walk’ on stage!), and educational. Warren took the time to meet with dozens of the meeting attendees prior to his speech to make sure that everything he talked about was relevant to that audience. He has a naturally engaging and approachable style that was well-received by everyone. I’d highly recommend Warren for your event.”
“Warren spoke at our Annual CFO conference on the topic of Digital Transformation. He is a very engaging speaker in that he weaves an uplifting message in a fun way but also challenges the audience to think differently. He supports his talk with real life examples that illustrate the points he is making and provides real tools that the audience can take away and apply in their day-to-day work. He was a pleasure to work with and get to know.”
“It was a pleasure to meet Warren and have him contribute to the Industry Forum on Banking. From the moment you meet him, his passion for what he does stands out. He really knows how to bring across his knowledge of digital innovation and entrepreneurship and manages to capture an audience in the journey he wants to take them on. His enthusiasm and joy in sharing his knowledge and vision is contagious. Having to work with speakers and setting up conferences on a daily basis, I can honestly say that Warren stands out, first of all because of his in depth knowledge and understanding of what he speaks off but also because of the way he brings his message across.”
“Inspiring. Entertaining. Dedicated. Passionate. With these words I would describe Warren. A true professional who is very passionate about AI and leadership and inspires people to begin their AI journey. Warren's presentation is entertaining and energetic. He is very dedicated and wants that every presentation is unique and fits perfectly to the certain target group to which he is holding the presentation for. Cooperation with Warren is very smooth and pleasant. Thank you Warren. It has been a true pleasure working together with you!”
“Warren spoke at our event the National Sales Conference 2018, on the agenda for the inaugural Academy Stream... Warren had a huge impact on our audience and was rated one of the best-rated speakers amongst the likes of Sir Clive Woodward. A truly engaging presenter which is tricky when speaking to over 400 attendees. We are already discussing ways we can work together in 2019. Would highly recommend Warren as a keynote.”
“We at DigiArenaHelsinki were very happy to have had Mr. Knight as one of our keynotes. His technology in sales and marketing and social media keynote were very popular and really gave our audience both practical tools and inspiration to develop their own performance. DigiArenaHelsinki wants to bring the latest digital to old and trends for the marketing and sales community in Finland and we felt that Mr Knight was the perfect choice to do just that.”
