From a group that booked Bob as a guest speaker
“Bob Graham was a great keynoter. He had us standing up and participating in the early morning, and this was with college and university students who usually don’t get up early. He also did a fabulous workshop that even attracted some of our sponsors and vendors who wanted to hear him. He is awesome, he’s personable, he’s approachable, he connected with our group. I’m a fan. He will make your conference successful.”
