Led by Andrea Driessen, No More Boring Meetings saves meeting planners time, money and guesswork by connecting them with top talent and other resources for conferences, annual meetings, incentive events, and training programs. Asked why she's in this industry, Andrea Driessen explained,

"I love this business because one…I deeply believe in the power of learning and skill development to positively and permanently change people's lives.

Two, get so jazzed when I hear our clients say…

'WOW. The speaker you recommended really hit the nail on the head.'
'WOW. Amplify went above and beyond.'
'WOW. You really GET it.'

And three, because I know we're different from other meeting resource companies, since we're not just out to "sell" something. We want to genuinely connect with clients and deliver value when there's a need. We want our clients to know that their best interests are at the top of our minds.

I hear our clients say they deeply appreciate how we focus on truly listening to their needs…and then recommending a solution to ensure those needs are met—on time, on target, on budget. It's all so rewarding."

For almost 20 years, Andrea has been linking talent with captive audiences. Andrea broke into the corporate meeting and talent booking world after being fired for an April Fool's prank. It's no coincidence that she now puts an end to dull, mind-numbing meetings at work. She has, though, given up pranking.....!

Andrea brings a deep understanding of professionals' distinctive skills, learning styles and motivations. She works closely with meeting planners to ensure what she recommends generates high ROI, long-lasting motivation and critical skill retention.

Clients include Microsoft, Boeing, Verizon Wireless, Costco, McDonald's, Associated General Contractors, the IRS and hundreds of others. Before starting Amplify, Andrea served for 8 years as Program Director of Seattle-based Discover U and Minneapolis-based Open U adult-education centers. Through workshops, marketing collateral and targeted publicity material, she promoted a broad range of speakers in programs ranging in attendance from 20 to 2,000. These experts include internationally known, best-selling authors Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Bernie Siegel, John Bradshaw, and hundreds more.

Andrea is a contributing writer to the speaking-industry resource, Make a Difference: How to Use Your Life Experience and Professional Skills to Teach, Enrich People's Lives, and Get Paid for It Too!
