Proof

Already the business session at resort conferences.

National Harbor, on the Potomac just outside Washington, DC, hosts many of the national associations headquartered in the capital region, along with federal, healthcare and corporate conferences. 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 had the privilege of seeing Chris speak a few times now, including at our company’s Sales Kickoff in front of 800+ people — which he crushed. Each time he finds a unique way to connect with his audience on both a personal and professional level, keeping everyone engaged and attentive.”

Questions

Booking a keynote speaker in National Harbor

Does Chris travel to National Harbor?
Yes. Chris is based in Fremont, Nebraska and travels in through Reagan National, about 15 minutes away. He arrives the day before so a travel delay never reaches your stage.
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 waterfront 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.
