"I could say some nice things, but proof is always better. I have arranged about 50 conferences in the last 10 years. And there are typically about 30 speakers at each one, if you include breakout sessions. Of those approximately 1500 speakers, none of them has ever scored as high on our review survey as Doug Lansky. "

We are happy to say that he exceeded our high expectations and really inspired our participants."

Verificado @google.comI had a privilege to work with Doug on one of our Think Travel conferences and I loved what he brought to the event. He is always well prepared, great speaker and a great guest. I hope to work with him in the future as I do think his unique view of tourism and travel bring a fresh new perspective to an always interesting industry.

Verificado @travelsouthdakota.comDoug recently served as one of the keynote speakers at the 2016 South Dakota Governor's Conference on Tourism and his presentation was a homerun! The feedback from our nearly 600 attendees has been nothing but positive and full of high praise. Doug's presentation on what destinations are doing right/ wrong - and the relevance/irrelevance of DMOs in the world today - was humorous, educational, thought-provoking, and engaging. Without telling the audience whether or not what they were doing was right or wrong, his examples of what DMOs around the country are doing to attract visitors - and elevate their experiences while in their destinations - resulted in a lot of self-reflection. Doug's presentation forced attendees to think about the effectiveness of their marketing tactics and strategies. Our conference committee could not have been more pleased with Doug's dynamic and thoughtful presentation. We highly recommend him as a keynote speaker and look forward to bringing him back to our conference in the future.
