Holy wow I love this Matt Orley!

Ann Handley MarketingProfs, Keynote Speaker

You provided great value to IPEC 2022. The proof of that is the apparent new business you may have picked up as a result of your work on-site! There’s no better testimonial to your value than having our attendees booking you for their future events!

Moreover, I know we all agree that your style – low-maintenance, self-reliant, easy-going, always professional – is doubly appreciated. You meshed really well with our team and our value proposition, which is very important to us!

Thanks again and we look forward to future opportunities to work together.

David Blansfield Northstar Meetings Group, Executive Vice President

Jaw-dropping reactions.  Well done!!!

Jennifer Martin, MBA, CAE New York School Nutrition

...Matt was professional and very easy to work with both pre-planning and during the conference. The Graphic recordings of two of our plenary presentations were a huge hit for both our attendees and presenters. Attendees enjoyed the visual addition to the presentation and we had many people lined up to review the drawings in completion after the presentations.

Britt Peck, CEM Shared Hope International
The exercises were great! I also liked the building block approach. We didn't start at ground zero, which let us dive right in. As we went along, Matt gave us additional skills, tools and techniques to give us a real sense for how much we were learning. {workshop}
Michelle Nash Director of Learning and Development

Thank you for the graphics!  These are WONDERFUL!  I’ve had such positive feedback from the participants about this very special feature of yesterday’s meeting.  I can hardly wait to show them to everyone at our Town Hall tomorrow morning!

 

Paula Kinney Director of Strategic Planning and Effectivenesss

You did an amazing job! Can’t sing your praises enough! Look forward to working with you in September at Annual!

Priscilla Gandy Conferences and Events DIrector

This layering and cohesion was not at all visible in the linear presentation but presented as a whole, was exceptional- and, honestly a great way for those that would be in attendance to accept the vision.

Allan Marshall Director, Polymer Resource Center

Your leadership, direction and guidance last night thru the brainstorming was so much more than I ever thought or imagined!

Bruce Lyman ESL Director
This is UNREAL, Matt!!! I wanted to reach out on behalf of the team to say THANK YOU! Your illustrations are absolutely incredible and brought all of our sessions to life. We can’t wait to use them on social and send to all of our presenters.

So some exciting news for you… our Executive Leadership Team, specifically our CEO, was so impressed by this art piece that he wants posters made to put in ELT offices and other M Health Fairview venues to remind us of our ongoing work and connection to the community. How awesome!!

Emily Carpenter Community Partnerships Manager @ M Health Fairview

Thank you again! I have already shared with my team! I love your style. You are so talented!

Mindi Sue Sternblitz-Rubenstein Senior Marketing Director

You brought a layer of richness and excitement to the conference that was pretty magical!! And thank you for sending the digital files ... they are gorgeous!!

Nancy Hawthorne Senior Manager, Conference Projects

These graphic recordings gave a fun and surprisingly on-point review of the meeting.

Wendy Underhill Director of Elections and Redistricting

This session was outstanding!  The way it focused more on Matt's drawings than Power Point was very effective!
