Todd has moderated a number of conferences and events around the world.These include large gatherings of several hundred people to more intimate meetings facilitating strategic sessions for executives. He is known for his insightful questions and pacing of events, and the ability to get people to really probe the issues. The organisers and participants he has worked with have said they are impressed with his dynamic approach. The real proof of their satisfaction is that he is regularly invited back to run subsequent events. "The tremendous success of the summit was greatly contributed by Todd Benjamin who moderated two key sessions at the event, the Chief Economist's panel and the session with Dr Alan Greenspan. His industry insight and charismatic ability to engage both the audience and the speakers brought both these two sessions to life making them informative, thought-provoking and entertaining."
"Todd, many thanks for your time and contributions to this week's program. We had a terrifically successful week and your session played a strong role in that outcome. We also appreciate the deep research and planning you put in before the program - it was clear and paid off."
"We have had wonderfully positive and supportive e mails and comments from delegates and the post event survey is showing that it was an outstanding event that was very well received by the delegates. Well done for the significant part you played in the event."
"The topics you discussed and the way you conducted the session were one of the most interesting, I believe, since we started holding this event three years ago."
"As the leading maritime event week, it is very important that Nor-Shipping use a conference moderator who is professional and really delivers. Todd Benjamin surpassed expectations on both accounts. During the roundtable discussions, he asked insightful and pertinent questions that kept the conversation going and captured the attention of our audience of 700. Not an easy task - but he made it look effortless."
"I remain convinced that even though we may secure star panelists, that means nothing unless we have Todd pulling it together. I can't tell you the number of executive participants who singled one or another aspect of your performance as a panel highlight. I can share you with one remarkable statement from a top ranked CEO panelist who stated to me simply -- this was the best business conference he has EVER attended!!"
"Working with Todd Benjamin safeguarded consistency and high standards throughout the event. In advance, based on his deep experience as a CNN Business Anchor, he helped us to define the challenges and relate them directly to the global business agenda. These were then built into the program. During the conference, which involved around 100 global leaders, his moderation technique made sure that everybody was involved and more importantly energized--in fact a quote from the CEO of Hydro was that the whole room became a panel."
"With such a diverse customer base during Ricoh's international business forum, it was essential our conference would be relevant and engaging for everyone. Todd Benjamin kept the discussions current and applicable, offering his own insightful views and ensuring attendees could contribute to the event with their own experiences."
"A quick note to say thanks for all the good work last week. Having you run the stage gave us one less thing to worry about - with the most crucial part of the event in the finest of professional hands. A pleasure working together again and look forward to the next occasion."
"Just a note to thank you for your excellent job on moderating Friday s panel. As always you were impressively well prepared and extremely professional in the way you kept us all at the height of our attention for almost two hours! Plus you are phenomenal in making the panelists all appear at their very best! There were many highly appreciative comments afterwards."
"Todd Benjamin is a highly experienced and regarded presenter who has established his own personal style in moderating the Frankfurt European Banking Congress (EBC) since 2009. Because of his outstanding moderating skills, he keeps the energy high for both the panelists and the audience. His professionalism and competence make it a real pleasure to work with him."
"It was a real pleasure for us to work with you, you have lots of experience. We especially liked how you were able to engage the audience during the program. Clients were very enthusiastic about you as well. I also hope that there will be a chance to work together again. Thanks for everything."
"We all found tremendous value in your presentation and look forward in meeting up for future projects. Our audience was totally engaged..."
"Once again you gracefully combined the various interests of the audience and related those interests to the panel of experts, flawlessly. Your moderation of the panels was brilliant and I enjoyed listening to you!"
"I wanted to thank you for the outstanding and very professional moderation of the Nor Shipping Conference panel on technology. Seldom have I encountered journalists who have prepared themselves as well as you did to ask insightful and pertinent questions. Thanks for making the panel discussion an interesting and informative session for all attendees."
"Thanks Todd! You were superb - look forward to getting you involved with other events."
"I was most pleased that you accepted the role of moderator for the panel discussions. Thanks to your professional caliber, you enhanced their quality and relevance, while giving them an entertaining touch at the same time. This balance is only rarely achieved, and no wonder that your unique style of moderation attracted the rapt attention and apt responses of panelists and audience."
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for moderating the session 'Responsible Leaders and Sustainable Growth', and making this Leadership Summit a resounding success. Your extensive knowledge in this field, the insights that you had on the speakers, coupled with excellent moderating skills, contributed to making the plenary a lively forum for debate."
"We were indeed fortunate to have your talents generate a remarkable dialogue, incisive and superbly paced. I know that the media and the audience are still buzzing over the insights presented at the conference last week."
