  • “Rachel DeAlto should be your next speaker! I’ve been creating conferences and events for over 25 years. I’ve had the privilege of working with some very big name talent over the years. I’ve also worked with new speakers and let’s be honest, even some not so great speakers. Rachel DeAlto is a speaker I would encourage all my fellow meeting planners to book! She may not be a household name yet, but she’s on her way. She is smart, funny, and passionate. She is easy to work with and will make sure to take the time to learn about your group and their needs! Which as most planners know is not easy to find. Her career is focused on communication and connection! These are topics that every group needs. I guarantee she will engage and connect with your audience.”

She gave such access ahead of time with the planning that we felt comfortable with her style and knew that she would work incredibly well and connect with our members. She was so positive and engaging that each time we ended a meeting we all knew that her portion of our meeting was one we never needed to worry about. If we could feel that way about her then we knew our audience would as well!"
