Lee Rubin = Superstar. It can't be emphasized enough how important it is to have great speakers at your events for them to be successful. Now, with most events turning from Live in-Person to Live on-Screen, it may be even more important. I have seen Lee in-person and was very excited that he agreed to participate in Alloya's Annual Symposium. Due to the Pandemic, we were forced to present our event virtually. Lee could not have been more accommodating and with our post-event survey results now in - he couldn't have done a better job - highest marks from our members!
