Audience Testimonials

The best presenter on innovation and AI I have seen!

Absolutely the best AI keynote with practical instruction and with a plan to follow. I will be “re-presenting” to my leadership.

That was alarming, informative, and inspiring all at the same time. And that’s a rare presentation that can capture all three of those. And for sure, what I wanted was a catalyst to think differently about what we’re heading, and you definitely hit the mark there.

Trent Gillespie delivered one of the most compelling and actionable sessions of ASAE’s CEO Conclave. His pragmatic approach to AI—grounded in real-world experience and Amazon’s “future customer” philosophy—cut through the hype and offered a clear, CEO-ready framework for how associations can evolve to meet the needs of tomorrow’s members. Trent’s insights were not only visionary but also immediately applicable, empowering leaders to think boldly and strategically about AI integration. Trent’s session was a masterclass in future-focused leadership.

Trent’s keynote was inspiring, insightful, and refreshingly provocative—clearly outlining how to build healthcare organizations that effectively leverage AI, with an enlightening look into Amazon’s bold healthcare strategy.

Fantastic Presentation! The audience feedback was very positive. Everyone enjoyed the presentation, and being able to engage with you. I wish every speaker did as you did!

Best session I attended of the entire conference. Feel less scared, more inspired!
