These last few months have been challenging, testing and resulted in the need to change a lot of the way things are being done.
This page is designed to help you understand just some of the many ways that you and I can work together now that many of your event attendees are participating remotely.
The goal to create something that is purpose built for our new working environments and something that ensures your next event is a huge success.
I have tried to think of everything that could help you in your decision-making process and look forward to learning more about what you have planned.

We often find that the same questions often pop up before hiring Phil, so we’ve put together a few of our most commonly asked questions and had Phil answer them personally.
Phil is agile and experienced in working with most virtual platforms and has invested in a variety of scenarios and technology to ensure a stable and professional presentation is guaranteed.
Phil is happy to pre-record presentations, however his preference is to be LIVE. Given his desire to be as interactive and engaging as possible, a typical request would be to have the ability to engage with participants in a comments or chat function and be live whenever possible. Should it be necessary to pre-record, he will often ask to view any sessions that exist prior to his participation to further customize the programme by linking back to content presented in earlier presentations.
With so many variables there is no precise answer. The typical sweet spot for a virtual keynote is in the 45-60 minute window. However, if an engaging platform is being used and the group are immersive then longer sessions are very effective.
Supporting virtual events with books for attendees is easy. We provide solutions to physically ship books to homes, allow bulk for you to customize and have created innovative custom solutions for digital delivery.
Interestingly enough, often Phil *is* the event for a company. With many organisations building an event around presentation. This means that you have the flexibility to engage a powerful experience at any given time, without needing the constraints of a full conference.
With every virtual presentation being highly customized for the moment, every request for repurposing the recording is considered as a separate arrangement and can be included or added to any initial speaking agreement. The possibility to licence the session recording for extended periods past the initial event is an option for you.
You should now hopefully be in the position to have enough information to decide if Phil is the kind of professional you would like to engage with for your event – if so, then here’s how the booking process works:
