What Meeting Planners Say
Gene, thanks for connecting. I will say that the builders thought you were the highlight of the week. We appreciate you presenting and for the insights you provided.
I finally got to hear Gene speak! This was at our national meeting in Orlando. He is AMAZING! Our builders loved him and just everything he had to say. Unfortunately, I only caught the last 15 minutes or so of his speech due to working at the event for the most part. But just from what I heard I was ‘wowed’ to say the least. He is truly amazing at what he does.
Really enjoyed your enthusiastic, funny and inspiring presentation yesterday at the MCA Winter Meeting. I hope to listen to you in the near future again.
