"The Australian Financial Review Legal Conference for 2008 focused on key issues and policy facing the legal industry going forward. David provided a very succinct and clear overview of the global economic trends and their implications for business in Australia. His ability to explain these trends to non economists is a distinct advantage of having him as a presenter."

"David spoke at our last Conference on the Australian Economic Outlook. There was no doubt from his presentation that he knows exactly what he is talking about! The content and research that went into his presentation was first class and from our "tough audience" the feedback was very good. I would recommend David as a presenter who will give you a clear and concise presentation on the economic outlook that is very easy to understand and dissect."
