"There’s a moment, just after he’s been introduced, when Minter is just standing there. That’s when I always get excited. He’s a showman, a storyteller, a prognosticator. He’s also a mine of interesting, provocative, insightful information. Best of all, he’s a kind, charming and thoughtful guy with a big heart."
"Minter is an enthusiastic and inspiring speaker, moderator and chair and has been a go-to attraction for several of our conferences in the past and will be again for future shows. His breadth of knowledge and experience is matched only by the passion with which he delivers his message. He has also been instrumental in helping me formulate themes and developing new ideas for our shows."

He is very active, erudite, passionate and substantial. And I would highly recommend him to address your next conference in China!"
