Speaking

David J. Neff educates nonprofits, businesses and organizations on how social media, fundraising, voluntering and innovation are changing the world we operate in (sample presentations are below). Here is a brief biography of David J. Neff. His speaking style is electric, humor-laden, energetic, and personal. David customizes every presentation and training to address the audience at hand, and he adjusts during the presentation to match the level of comprehension as he goes along.

David covers these topics from the 10,000 feet level all the way down to the step-by-step, depending on audience and need. He has presented to book publishers, school administrations, technologists, marketers, government agencies, realtors, students, entrepreneurs, and many other groups.
