“Dr. Kaplan’s keynote speech was the highlight of the conference. It set the perfect tone of innovation, ideas, and business for the entire event.” - Anna Zhang, Co-founder and Senior Vice President, Cheers Publishing

“Jerry’s keynote speech was totally engaging, beautifully delivered, extremely well prepared and equally well received by a packed room of genuinely enthused young Koreans. (It was literally standing room only.) With a perfect blend of subtle humour and interesting facts delivered in an easy to digest format backed up with some excellent slides his presentation was spot on. Definitely a 10 out of 10, very well done.” - Ben Myatt, Asian Leadership Conference
