Here are a few of the many testimonials to Craig Settles' effectiveness as a conference and workshop presenter.

We were expecting an independent presentation on what's going on in the muni broadband arena (trends, best practices and current deployments), as well as wanting to learn about key success factors and challenges when developing and implementing these initiatives.

Our expectations were clearly met, not only because of the high quality of the content, but also Mr. Settles' presentation skills. Attendees received two benefits. First, he demystified some of the benefits and issues related to muni broadband projects. And second, he gave them relevant and updated information on the state of the art of muni wireless.

Overall, now our executives and staff have a better idea of what a muni broadband project involves. Of course, we recommend Mr. Settles' presentation services to anyone who is interested in municipal broadband.

I really enjoyed your class and thank you for the opportunity to take it. I learned so many tips and gained so much knowledge that I left the class feeling excited about following up on what I learned and using so many of the tips you gave. I have also thought about ways to share the information in our department and improve on existing successes that we have.

I recently attended your session in Chicago. I found it incredibly informative and went back to my firm with some good ideas we hope to implement for some of our clients.

Also, your presentation style is very energetic and dynamic. Let's face it, some presenters could use a little more "oomph" to their personalities. You were indeed successful in captivating and pulling in your audience.

Thanks again for the great session.

I have had the pleasure to work with many professional trainers, but working with Craig Settles has always been an extreme honor and privilege. Craig is a master teacher and thinker.

I cannot say enough about Craig and his many attributes but I'll try: He offers keen insight into the new, uncharted territory that is online public relations. His teaching style is funny, charming, engaging. The bottom line is that Craig Settles is the first person I call when planning a conference, because I know that his presence will make that event a unqualified success.

My recommendation to you: hire Craig Settles. His passion and dedication to instructing others is hard to match.

I'm very happy to recommend Craig Settles as a very knowledgeable, entertaining and up-to-date conference presenter. He's one of our select group of great teachers who have consistently been rated "Very Good" to "Excellent" by one of the toughest high tech audiences in the world.

Craig's well-prepared material is always top-notch, and he keeps it fresh with the very latest material. He provides practical tips and advice that attendees can put to work immediately, and he avoids the jargon and acronyms that plague many high tech industry presenters.

He's a great addition to any conference program, very easy to work with, and I look forward to booking him at future events.
