On behalf of our team at the Center for the Study of Western Hemispheric Trade at Texas A&M International University, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding keynote presentation on “AI and the Future of Work”. Your insights captivated an audience of over 300 participants, both in person and online—a testament to the widespread interest and relevance of the topic. We were truly delighted to see such a strong turnout from our students, with nearly 250 attending. Your success in tailoring your remarks to the diverse group—including our students—did not go unnoticed. We appreciate how you carefully addressed their concerns about artificial intelligence and its impact on their future employment. By connecting your presentation to the industries that we have in Laredo, you made the subject matter even more accessible and salient. Beyond the presentation, your generosity with your time was deeply valued. From engaging with administrators and community members at the luncheon to sharing your expertise with interested faculty members at other events, you enriched our community. Special thanks for your time with our engineering students at the meet-and-greet; your encouragement and perspective will have a lasting impact on them. Since your visit, we have received positive feedback from both attendees and from those who had the chance to meet with you. Thank you once again for making the event a memorable and impactful experience for our students and other community members.

Jack’s hard work prior to his actual presentation in talking with us and in using his personal c-store executive experience to make his speech even more relevant was key to the reception by audience, and the video he developed for us to promote the conference was engaging and effective. He told a great story, which really resonated with our attendees, and he absolutely set off the conference the way we wanted.

Jack’s knowledge of the online sales and fulfillment industry showed well, and our members could not have gained from someone who was less familiar with this business. It was also so easy to see why you are rated as one of the world’s top Technology Futurists based on the viewpoints Jack conveyed to our attendees. The perspective of industry awareness combined with a futurist orientation proved to be a strong combination for our audience of industry executives.

The seminar was instrumental in six clients signing up for major upgrades in the following 60 days. Jack’s willingness and ability to incorporate success stories from our existing customer base in his presentation was key to the effectiveness of our event.

We had the opportunity to attend a presentation by Jack Shaw on ​Introduction to Blockchain and Its Effects on the CPA Industry​. Jack started by giving a plain English introduction of blockchain technology including an overview of how cryptocurrencies and smart contracts work. He continued his presentation by discussing how blockchain is predicted to impact CPA firms in the future. Participants who attended in person and remotely left the presentation with a sense of excitement and eagerness to know what lies ahead.

It was a pleasure working with and finally meeting Jack at our Sun Government Executive Partner Forum. For this event, I had to work with over ten speakers from outside Sun and I have to admit Jack was the most flexible and approachable individual. Because Jack took the time to understand Sun technology innovations, he was able to tailor his message in a way that connected to the audience and with Sun.

Jack was able to expertly explain Blockchain technology and how it could impact our organization in the future. His insights were thought provoking, which challenged our audience to think differently about how business will be conducted in the future. I highly recommend Jack for any organization looking to understand this technology and the impacts to their industries.
