Testimonials

The MAV has engaged Simon as a keynote speaker on a number of our annual conferences - including the 2022 and 2024 Rural and Regional Planning Conference. Simon is a terrific speaker, full of knowledge and new ideas to assist decision makers across government. His data is relevant and very engaging. He is always a crowd favourite in the feedback we receive. Simon and his team are also very easy and friendly to work with to organise his attendance. We look forward to inviting Simon again at a future MAV event.

James McLean - lead organiser, MAV Rural and Regional Planning Conference

Simon's excellent presentation to the Committee for Adelaide's important conversation about Population Growth and Housing was very well received. As usual, Simon is masterful in presenting data and statistics in a way that is both entertaining and enlightening. I can't recommend Simon highly enough. You need Simon at your next conversation about demographics and population!

Committee for Adelaide

Having used Simon multiple times in the past, l'm always curious as to how much he'll tailor his presentation to the audience. Once again, he introduced new humour to his incredibly insightful and stat filled presentation.

Property Council of Australia

Simon was fantastic. Very engaging speaker and made a potentially dry topic really enjoyable for the audience. Simon was very generous with his time and was happy to hang around and chat with attendees after the event.

Bass Coast Shire Council

He was our first speaker and he captivated the audience, data can sometimes be dry, not when Simon is presenting it, his style and delivery were amazing and spot on for the audience.

Department of Education and Training VIC

Engaging, funny, gave great take-home notes. Would book again.
