Trent adapts frameworks, industry examples, and demonstrations to match your organization’s challenges. For associations, he tailors examples to member industries. For companies, he integrates your priorities—like automation, innovation, customer experience, or workforce development—into the talk. The result: a keynote that feels built for your event, not pulled off a shelf.
