Testimonials

Christine’s presentation earned the highest ratings we have ever received for program.
– Manager, Business Development Programs San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
You have to be one of the most dynamic and passionate speakers we have ever seen. We had over 1,000 participants raving about you! Everyone was talking about how inspired they were and what a memorable experience you provided for them. You were titled "the bomb" because you blew everyone away…you were the "star" of the show!
– Director, University of Texas Medical Branch
Bravo! We wanted a speaker to close our general session who would leave our group charged-up, motivated and excited for their achievements. And that's exactly what you did! In addition, you stole the show. I can't thank you enough for giving us more than we expected. Every single person in the room was mesmerized by your presentation. Nobody wanted it to end. It was a meeting planner's dream.
– LOMA AVP, Meetings & Conventions
We had an amazing time with Christine. Attendees pushed their time to get to flights in order to watch her till the end. We have been getting great feedback and she received a standing ovation. That is not typical for our closers... I asked her how we would top her!
– Director, Conference and Event Services, ASCE

I’ve been Speaking professionally for 21 years and work with the largest agencies in the world. I’m a Hall of Fame keynote speaker and a New York Times best selling Author. I have can honestly say in full confidence that Seth Dechtman and his team at Keynote Curator is the best agency I have been honored to work with. I’ve witnessed Seth’s client focused relationship skills On multiple occasions. His clients love him and he’s detail oriented and has great communication skillls. But most importantly, I’ve been on the receiving side of his servant, focused leadership style. He treats me like a valued partner and emulates everything a wingman is.

I've been working with Seth at The Keynote Curators for over 3 years. I always look forward to our meetings because of both his professional expertise and his enjoyable, engaging personality. We have fun during our virtual meetings while developing innovative strategies and accomplishing goals. It's obvious from working with Seth over a number of years that he is always making event planning and booking services an easy process and providing responsiveness that sets him apart. He's an excellent partner who gets invested in your business and collaborates through every step of a process that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

A Treasure Trove for Anyone Involved in Speaker Selection! As someone deeply involved in the intersection of marketing and technology at AImpact, I find the process of selecting the right keynote speaker to be a critical part of any successful event. Seth Dechtman's "The Keynote Curators" podcast is nothing short of a godsend for anyone facing the challenges and opportunities that come with this task. Seth brings an almost poetic understanding to the power of words, acknowledging that a speech isn't just a scheduled event but a transformative experience that can change the dynamics of an entire room. His enthusiasm for the craft is contagious, making each episode a joy to listen to.
