Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

"I just wanted to write a quick letter to express my appreciation for your exceptional keynote presentation at the 2017 Joint ATA e-Business Forum and Sl000D User Forum in Amsterdam. This being your third appearance at the conference, your presentation, "Airline Digital Transformation at the Intersection of Emerging Technologies" was particularly insightful and sparked a significant amount of interest and discussion among attendees. More importantly, I think most walked away with a much better appreciation and understanding of how Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, the Internet of Things, Augmented Reality, and Blockchain will impact the aviation business in the years to come. Jack, I can always count on you to deliver a presentation that is inspiring, informative, and relevant, and you always seem to raise the bar with each performance. I recommend you as a speaker for any conference that wants to hear from a true visionary. Thanks again for being the highlight of our conference!" - Brad Ballance, Senior Managing Director, e-Business
