Proof

Already the business session at resort conferences.

Lake Geneva is the Midwest’s classic lake resort for meetings, an hour from Chicago and Milwaukee, with resort conference centers that host associations, sales meetings and retreats. 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.

Questions

Booking a keynote speaker in Lake Geneva

Does Chris travel to Lake Geneva?
Yes. Chris is based in Fremont, Nebraska and travels in through Milwaukee Mitchell or Chicago O’Hare, about an hour away. He arrives the day before so a travel delay never reaches your stage.
What does a Lake Geneva 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 lake 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.
