I would like to recommend Dr Jack Lewis. We chose Dr Jack to be the lunchtime speaker at our Smartcomm Technology Day earlier this year. He engaged with our audience really well and his presentation was filled with useful information, hacks and ‘aha’ moments.
His talk was so engaging there was a queue of attendees wanting to chat with him afterwards. Dr Jack kindly stayed behind to chat with our guests, which made their day extra special.
