CONFERENCES
Any of these shows can be commissioned by groups anywhere in North America. Some shows can be split into two 1 hour slots to fit conference session blocks.

We commissioned Mr. Jans to bring Solo in South America to Jasper for our Volunteer Appreciation Celebrations as the keynote presentation for our final banquet. We wanted to wow our volunteers, to give them something very special to really treat them for their hard work. In short we wanted the keynote presentation to represent how much we appreciate our volunteers. This was the mission we gave William, and his energy, style, quirkiness and fantastic storytelling exceeded our expectations. The feedback from those in attendance and our organizing committee reads like Hollywood hyperbole, but we mean it. “Wonderful!” “Amazing!” “Intriguing!” “Insightful!” “30 out of 22 stars!” And the list goes on, with hundreds of positives and not a single negative report. Even dealing with William pre-and post-event was a dream! William, thanks for making our event so special!
(Christopher Read / National Volunteer Committee Keynote Chair)

"Presentation is so good no one leaves between sessions...
Should present twice to allow more people to attend. He should Present Every Year"

"Fun, Informative. Time well spent"
"Bring him back Next year"

"Want More!"
(From Greater Edmonton Teachers Conference Audience Survey)

“I had the pleasure of seeing William's excellent presentation, “Solo in South America ”. 
He succeeds masterfully in weaving together elements of travel, history, culture and the environment with his own sense of humour and costume to create a stunning feel for the real fabric of life in the places he visits.  Highly recommended.”
(Richard Ireland, Mayor, Jasper AB).
