Fantastic opening keynote. Alex's presentation was entertaining, educational and timely for our industry. In addition to the content, his fast-paced, colloquial, dynamic delivery style is nothing like what the crowd is used to, and very much appreciated by the audience (and it made us look good for broadening the minds of our attendees)!

Alex is one of the rare breeds in the space that gets both the details and the bigger scope of what's happening and maybe more importantly where it's going.

I worked with Alex during the massively intense startup phase of Virgin America, now the most decorated startup in aviation history. If I were to start another airline, I would certainly ask Alex to join me for the ride.
