Keynote Speaker :: Jon Petz Hall of Fame keynote speaker and world’s only Amazement Artist ®

In today’s competitive insurance marketplace, a true differentiator is the experience we create in the moments that matter most. In this jaw-dropping and high-energy experience, Jon reveals how simple, intentional actions can transform everyday interactions into powerful value-building experiences for clients, teams, and partners. At the heart of the message is a simple, yet powerful philosophy for life that drives every thought, every action, and ultimately every result we achieve—both personally and professionally. That philosophy is the embodiment of the visceral power of Amazement.
