Speaking

I sometimes speak at conferences and industry events. Most times these are in the United States and sometimes here at home, in Canada. If you’d like to have me speak at an event; or, if you’re a writer and need a quote or feedback for a story, feel free to get in touch. Just call smashLAB at 604 683 2250; or, send an email to karj@smashlab.com with any requests of this nature.
