May 4, 2026Just Wow!
We utilized Michael as the moderator for our annual, 3-day national showcase and trade show. Over 1,000 participants in the hospitality, restaurant, and spirit industries, gathered in Texas to learn, network, and showcase their products and companies.
Michael participated in all of our internal team's pre-event planning and rehearsals. He provided valuable input on the agenda and timeline. He took the stage each day with an abundance of energy and enthusiasm that gave the room a wonderful buzz and vibe.
He deftly moderated several panels each day by asking questions to C-level executives from national corporations. Michael's ability to quickly read the room and keep the topics moving and on time was perfect. His mix of humor and utilizing the audience's participation was genius.
Feedback from participants about Michael's duties were overwhelming with praise. Adjectives ranged from "engaging" to "welcoming" were used often.
We immediately booked him for future events. I recommend Michael Garfield's service and personality for any event.
