Jason Schenker is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“The Texas Association of Community College Business Officers had the honour of hosting Jason Schenker for our 2024 annual conference. Mr. Schenker’s presentation was both insightful and thought-provoking, covering a range of topics highly relevant to our audience. His ability to blend economic analysis with practical applications and future-oriented thinking was invaluable. Mr. Schenker was exceptionally intelligent, energetic, and passionate about his work. We highly recommend him as a speaker for any organisation seeking a knowledgeable and dynamic presenter.”
“Jason was a great speaker for our event, The Logistics World Summit & Expo, both on stage and off stage. He made a good connection with the audience and was accurate in sharing his expertise, a highly appreciated matter considering the complexity of the topic, which can be abstract and difficult to understand for a non-specialised audience.”
“We’ll need a bigger venue next time. Jason Schenker served as keynote speaker for our annual Economic Forecast Breakfast of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, the oldest and largest homebuilding association in the country. Overflowing with fact-based data, Jason’s information seemed inarguable. Possibly even more impressive, as I looked around, there was neither a cell phone nor yawn in sight; the sold-out audience was riveted by Jason’s presentation.”
“Jason gave a talk on a Sunday morning to 60 invited guests prior to the F1 race in Austin. He was right on point and the feedback from who attended was very very strong. He did a great job!”
