Proof

Already the business session at resort conferences.

Grapevine sits next to DFW International Airport, and its convention resorts make it one of the easiest places in the country to bring a national group together. Chris keynoted the TORCH conference at a Texas convention resort in 2026. Chris has spoken at resort conferences in Palm Springs, at the Westin Rancho Mirage and at the Kalahari Resort, and keeps the session tight enough that the afternoon stays free.

“Chris would be an incredible addition to any live audience. I’ve seen him speak multiple times, including our Sales Kickoff in front of 800+ people, which he crushed.”

Jack Tiernan, Manager of Sales Training, Definitive Healthcare

Questions

Booking a keynote speaker in Grapevine

Does Chris travel to Grapevine?
Yes. Chris is based in Fremont, Nebraska and travels in through DFW International, minutes away. He arrives the day before so a travel delay never reaches your stage.
What does a Grapevine keynote cost?
Fees depend on format, travel, session length, and whether the booking includes a workshop or book copies. Each event is quoted directly with travel shown as its own line, usually within one business day.
Can attendees go home with the book?
Yes. Signed copies of You Are Capable of More can ship ahead with your event materials, and a signing fits easily after the session. See bulk book orders.
When should the session go on a resort agenda?
A morning general session works best, before the resort takes the room. Chris keeps it tight so the afternoon stays open, or pairs a morning keynote with a half-day leadership workshop for a smaller group.
Has Chris spoken at resort conferences before?
Yes. He spoke at NAHCR 2025 in Palm Springs, at the California Staffing Professionals conference at the Westin Rancho Mirage, and at TORCH at the Kalahari Resort, and is booked in Playa del Carmen in November 2026. See destination events.
