"After seeing Mike Lannen’s presentation at the NSAA and SKI NY-PA Expo in 2023, I knew our team at Greek Peak would benefit from an onsite A.I. Bootcamp with him. Mike engages his audience well and connects complex concepts across multiple departments. He was well-prepared, addressing our specific needs ahead of his visit, and explained new ideas and solutions in a way that empowered us to set projects into motion. I highly recommend Mike as a presenter for any seminar, workshop, or webinar, with extra value in having him onsite to facilitate actionable takeaways."

Fifth Generation Host

"I can’t recommend Mike Lannen enough as a speaker. I saw him speak late last year and was impressed enough to bring him to speak at two of our conferences. His obvious grasp of the content (using Artificial Intelligence) and willingness to tailor his presentations to the needs of our audience and industry made for two fantastic, and valuable, sessions. Our audience benefited greatly from the insights Mike shared and the actionable, relatable takeaways they left with."

Public Speaking
Earl Saline
Director of Education Programming

“I attended Mike’s presentation at the Ski New Hampshire conference and was impressed with his deep knowledge of AI and its application for the ski industry. While I imagined a seminar on this subject to be somewhat dry and maybe too technical for someone with little experience with AI, it was well presented, and he was able to get as technical or as simplified as needed for the audience. I’m looking forward to future opportunities to attend AI seminars with Mike.

But his session wasn’t just a load of information heaped on attendees; rather, it was engaging and sprinkled with humor and fun examples of how the technology can work. Mike also presented at our organization’s annual conference last spring, and his discussion on how to improve your website SEO with AI was not only well received by attendees, but many marketing experts in our industry said it was one of the most educational marketing sessions they’ve ever attended."
