David is the consummate professional, and I couldn’t recommend him any more highly as a speaker. This most recent conference was the eighth one we have run, and David is the only keynote that we have re-run. The choice was very easy for us – our audience simply loved him.

Thank you very much for participating as a speaker at the recently concluded International Insurance Society seminar in Madrid.  The feed-back from our attendees has been overwhelmingly positive and I thank you profoundly for your contribution to the event’s success.  Your presentation was excellent and thought provoking – I am most grateful as it is the excellence of our speakers that make the IIS meetings unique.

I just wanted to drop a line to say how much I enjoyed your sessions on Tuesday. We have had some great feedback from clients who clearly found what you had to say stimulating.

I wanted to write and thank you for your excellent presentation at Friday's Forum at Henley. The feedback was excellent on the day overall, but your presentation in particularly got rave reviews! I know you gave them a lot to think (and perhaps worry!) about, but the participants commented that your presentation was superb, very informative, thought provoking and indeed inspiring and entertaining. Their only negative comment was that they would have liked to listen to you for much longer!
