His magic and storytelling also provide a memorable, elevated experience suited to a premium rewards setting.
Does Jon customize his keynote for our audience?

What types of hospitality events can book a keynote speaker?
Jon can be considered for hotel and resort conferences, travel-industry meetings, executive retreats, customer appreciation events, association conventions, incentive trips, sales meetings, and company celebrations. The strongest fit is usually an event that needs a marquee presentation—one that brings the room together, adds energy to the agenda, and supports a clear organizational purpose.
How long is a typical keynote presentation?
Keynote length should be aligned with the event agenda and desired role in the program.

His presentation is particularly effective when planners want a recognizable, high-energy speaker who can connect a diverse audience through authentic storytelling, practical perspective, and live entertainment.
What topics can Jon address in a hospitality keynote?
Jon’s keynote themes include resilience and overcoming adversity, leadership under pressure, change and adaptability, teamwork, mindset, vision, and goal-setting. For a travel or hospitality audience, these themes can be connected to service, performance, leadership, guest experience, team alignment, and the ability to move forward confidently through changing business conditions.
How far in advance should we book Jon Dorenbos?
For conferences, incentive trips, and major hospitality programs, booking early is helpful because keynote planning often involves venue schedules, travel coordination, executive approvals, and broader agenda development. Early outreach also allows more time to customize the presentation around your event objectives and confirm the production details needed for a seamless program experience.
