There were many members who told us it was the best they had heard at EW [Exciting Windows!] and two spouses who have attended many conventions and other industries that said they never heard better. Your message was meaty and moving. We want to hear more from you and keep your creativity and experience channeled to benefit Exciting Windows! in the future.

  • Our organization booked Evan as the keynote speaker for our annual Purchasing Cooperatives Conference. Evan delighted the audience of executive leaders with a mix of big ideas, actionable solutions, humor, audience participation and some good ol’ fashion tugging at the heartstrings. I’ve known Evan to be as dedicated and as prepared as they come, unafraid to tackle a topic or viewpoint that others might shy away from while staying on-message and has a knack for being on the leading edge of what’s trending. Already a successful businessman and consultant, Evan should also be on your short list of speakers for your next conference.

    Judy Ziewacz, President and CEO National Cooperative Business Association
  • Evan Hackel set the standard for keynote speakers for us moving forward. His pre-program research and on-site engagement exceeded our expectations in every way. Evan took our learning objectives for this event and for the coming year and delivered them to our franchisees wrapped in engaging stories and powered by his fresh perspective and invaluable expertise. On-site, Evan was flexible, participatory and helpful and his ‘all-in’ engagement set a remarkable example for our entire system. I would not hesitate to recommend Evan as a keynote speaker for any franchisor looking to bring a targeted message of full-on engagement to their franchisees.

Evan Hackel's Keynotes

Strategic Meeting Planning Services for Outstanding Franchise Conventions and Meetings

Well executed franchise conferences and large meetings can have a dramatic impact on the success of the franchisor. The ability to effectively communicate in a live environment is the most productive time a franchise system has for communication.

It is, therefore, extremely important that there is a large turnout at these events to have as effective a meeting as possible, given the time and expense for both the franchise and the franchisee.

Investing upfront in both improving attendance and effectiveness of the meeting will provide a substantial return on investment for your meeting.

Goals

  • Develop a highly interactive and effective franchise meeting plan
  • Improve levels of attendance and create an ongoing culture of attendance
  • Increase on-site engagement in all areas – individual learning, open exchange of ideas and experiences, building peer relationships, building relationships with franchisor Home Office staff, and just having FUN with each other!
  • Achieve key goals and learning objectives articulated by the leadership team

As part of this keynote, we do an interactive game that highlights the power of teamwork, in a clear and powerful way.  The game is fun, the impact is real and participants will be talking about it for years. The gameplay is a critical aspect of the presentation, as it enables participants truly visualize and understand the importance of working together and why they’re better together.
