your audience leaves ready to act.

Hosts bring him back

They booked him once. Then they booked him again.

“This is our second year having Gilberto here as one of our keynote speakers. He jumped right in, one of our first people to actually say, ‘Hey, I’ll come out and support.’”

Shontoria Quarles-Casey2025 President, PMI South Alabama Chapter

2 years in a row as keynoteProject Management Institute

Another host on video

I loved his presentation on Google and AI. I learned so much that I didn't already know.

"The most important thing I learned is that it's just really not that complicated. We all got some valuable information and resources that we can take away with us."
