Digital Marketing and Tech Speaking, Moderating, and Workshop Presentations

I love it when people get together to share ideas. Participating in the conversation and speaking at conferences is a real pleasure for me.

I‘ve delivered professional presentations at hundreds of events, including technical/educational workshops, seminars and inspirational keynotes. If you are organizing an event, I would love to join you as a speaker. Please contact me for details.

“Avery Swartz was a credible, knowledgeable and likable presenter. I have attended thousands of workshops, seminars, presentations, sales pitches, and training throughout a long career – many given by professionals such as Faith Popcorn, David Foot, Lee Clow, and Jefferry Katzenberg. I am not name dropping. I put Avery Swartz as a presenter a seat at that table. Can't say enough about her.”
