“Michael Tchong’s presentation at this year’s CGA Strategic Conference was a huge hit. This was the second time I worked with Michael on this event. As a conference organizer, you often want to avoid rebooking speakers for fear of promoting a program that would be perceived by attendees as stale. However, Michael’s unique ability to keep his information fresh and his entertaining style made this decision simple. That, along with comments such as ‘Best yet’ and ‘I could listen to Michael all day long’ makes it easy to recommend Michael to others.”
