TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM



Working with The Lavin Agency was an absolute delight. Not only were they quick
to respond to all of our updates and requests, they went above and beyond to
ensure that our needs were met. We considered them partners in making our event
shine by making the speaker selection, booking and planning process as seamless
as possible.

Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce

From start to finish, the Lavin team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism,
ensuring seamless communication and responsiveness throughout. We highly
recommend The Lavin Agency for any event seeking top-notch speakers and a
smooth, enjoyable collaboration process.

Quizlet

Working with The Lavin Agency was fantastic! From our initial inquiry through
the booking and negotiation process until our scheduled event, they were
incredibly helpful and supportive every step of the way. Our questions were
addressed promptly and thoughtfully, and all logistics were handled
professionally. I highly recommend collaborating with The Lavin Agency and their
impressive talent roster. You won't be disappointed!

Temple Etz Chaim

The Lavin Agency was a pleasure to work with! They checked in at every step of
the process and provided support to connect with the speaker on our individual
requests. Many thanks!

County of Ventura

I had the opportunity to work with The Lavin Agency in organizing an online
workshop. The event was a success because of their kind support. Their work was
very precise and all the people I communicated with were always kind, punctual,
flexible, and ready to support me with everything I needed. It is a pleasure to
recommend The Lavin Agency and I will be happy to work with them further as soon
as another opportunity arises.

THE QUOTE

“Our clients are the people who used to stay up all night talking about
politics, economics, music, art, culture—the engaged and the engaging. Now they
work, go to conferences, meetings, parent conferences. But they miss
thinking—miss the fun of thinking—and our job is to give it back to them.”

— David Lavin
