    “Tom Koulopoulos wowed our crowd of nearly 900 at the 2010 Georgia Technology Summit.
    Koulopoulos was our first speaking of the morning and his enthusiasm combined with his insightful remarks on innovation set the tone for the entire day. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a knowledgeable speaker. Finally, I would mention that some authors/speakers we have had in the past covered/pushed their latest book, Tom was refreshing change. He covered a lot of ground and was not selling.”

    “Tom conducted a very engaging session for the Gartner CIO Leadership Forum attendees helping them consider new approaches to innovation - it is still a session they talk about to this day.”

    “Tom’s delivery was fast-paced, engaging and entertaining, as he used a well-oiled combination of humour, industry research, pop culture references and video clips to illustrate his points and to challenge his audience. Most of all, Tom was approachable yet authoritative in his delivery, and was able to hammer home important points gleaned from his research and experience. As impressive as his actual presentation was, we were pleasantly struck by his determination to get to know his audience and the conference themes and objectives during pre-conference planning, and to tailor his presentation accordingly. All in all, it was a fabulous way to kick off our event.”

He was flexible, insightful and an excellent presenter and we had very positive feedback on Tom’s keynote. Tom exceeded our expectations. In addition to his keynote, he agreed to be available to chat with our audience and he provided our attendees with a copy of his new eBook on Cloud which he completed ahead of schedule in order to have it available for the event.

Not only did his keynote speech receive accolades, as evidenced by the attendee questionnaire, but in his key role as moderator for the two panels he adroitly provided much needed linkages in the diverse subject matter. Tom’s breadth of knowledge coupled with his podium panache are no doubt the reasons why he is one of North America’s most sought after speakers.”
