What People Are Saying About My Talks

“Nate spoke at a VISTA Conference that I attended about Social Media. He was an outstanding speaker and answered some questions afterward that I had about social media. He was very engaging and made sure that the presentation was entertaining as well. The three hours that he spoke taught me so much about social media and was able to apply these concepts to my real life. One month later, I’m starting to gain to build quite a reputation in the social media world! I fully endorse Nate for any speaking engagement or anything related to social media!” — Mark Mendelbaum, Marketing and Communications for Americorps VISTA, Mid-Ohio Foodbank

“Nate presented a workshop on LinkedIn for our Social Media Summer Camp. When I interviewed him I was impressed with his depth of knowledge. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only is he an expert on LinkedIn he is a very gifted speaker. And our attendees felt the same way. The results were excellent, too. I would definitely ask Nate to speak again and would highly recommend him to any organization looking for a great speaker on social media.” — Melissa Price, Director of Marketing, Columbus Business First

“Nate Riggs is my go to person on ALL social media matters. Nate developed a complete track on social media for the Ohio Growth Summit on June 10, 2009. Nate did a 1 hour presentation on social media and also moderated a panel on the use of social media applications. Nate is very knowledgeable and presents/speaks well. I would highly recommend Nate as a speaker at any event or if you are seeking expertise in social media applications. — Michael Bowers, Regional Director, Ohio Small Business Development Centers at Columbus State Community College

“Nate was the driving force behind one of the most successful Young Professionals of Columbus events in the organization’s history. He led a panel discussion centered around networking in the Web 2.0 age. Nate tactfully lead the conversation full circle, starting with traditional networking, to how the panelists use social media effectively, with finishing up around the idea of building your personal brand. The discussion was extremely interesting and beneficial for those in attendance, and his preparation, knowledge, speaking ability, and creativity make him an ideal moderator for any panel discussion of this kind.” — Steven Michalovich, Communications Specialist, Nationwide Insurance

“Nate was recently the moderator for an invigorating panel on social media for the Young Professionals of Columbus. “Blown away” is an understated description of his expertise and ability to reach an audience. I appreciate Nate’s willingness to be so open in sharing his knowledge, helping people to connect on new levels.” — Kristen Jensen, President, Young Professionals of Columbus
