Extremely satisfied with Ben's presentation. Here's a flavor of selected feedback received: -External speaker was excellent. Insight into a very interesting topic. Really enjoyed the Webcast in particular the examples given e.g. Netflix Blockbuster, Kodak etc. -Great speakers - very interesting. The presentations seemed very quick but that was because they were interesting and left me wanting to hear more. -Very interesting to hear Ben's disruptive view of the digital transformation.

The Event went extremely well this year. Specifically Ben's keynote address was well received by all in attendance so well that we will be reaching out to try and book Ben for another much larger U.S. event.
