BOOK PEP ROSENFELD AS SPEAKER AND HOST
THROUGH ASSEMBLEE SPEAKERS FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT

TAILORED, INTERACTIVE KEYNOTES
Inspiring. Interactive. Actionable.
Pep Rosenfeld co-founded Boom Chicago, the comedy institution that launched the careers of some of America's biggest comedians and creators

Now he has harnessed the lessons from Boom Chicago's 30+ year history along with his 20+ years of experience working with global organizations and his book, Work Laugh Balance, to create a series of engaging and unique interactive keynotes to inspire your team while boosting their effectiveness. In a world that fears facing off against AI, Pep will show you how to lean into your human side: communication, connection, collaboration and humor.
Pep’s keynote begins with a one-of-a-kind comedy routine about the audience. How? Pep begins with the ideas from his book. But it’s not an off the shelf talk. Pep researches your organization and event—and works with you to make sure his messages match the day’s themes. Then he writes new, tailored material for and about the organization, event—even the people in the audience. He can even write new material on-site to create a hilarious wrapup of the event. 

“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn.” -Benjamin Franklin. Or Confucian philosopher Xun Kuang. Depends who you ask.

Pep Rosenfeld’s keynotes include engaging, activities that participants do right in their seat in pairs or trio’s. These activities not only underscore Pep’s points, they’ll have your people laughing out loud while they practice valuable skills like active listening, mental flexibility and engaged presentation.

EVENT HOSTING
Enthusiastic Energy. Humor that Communicates Your Point.
For Pep Rosenfeld, hosting your high-stakes event isn’t just about announcing the next speaker; it’s about creating unforgettable moments that make the event better than you thought it could be.

Pep hosts high profile events like Brand Minds, the Accenture Innovation Awards, The Next Web, TEDx, and The Nordic Business Forum - where he got a solid laugh from Barack Obama. And he hosts high stakes business events for international companies like Johnson & Johnson, Ahold, KPMG, ING, IBM, Software AG, Netflix, Google, Adyen, Novartis... we could do this all day.
His interviews with thought leaders like Simon Sinek, Brené Brown and Malcolm Gladwell get rave reviews. Seriously, at events he hosts, Pep regularly gets better audience ratings than many of the speakers.

As the host of your event, Pep can:

• Open the day with energy and humor
• Write comedy about the team, the company, the marketplace and the themes of the event.
• Iron out any technical wrinkles or hiccups that appear during the day in a fun, stress-free way.
• Run interactive activities that help the team better achieve the goals of the event. 
• Introduce speakers and keynotes with energy and enthusiasm, adding a level of professionalism and energy to the event. 
• Run or moderate interviews, Q&A sessions and awards ceremonies, keeping the energy up and making sure everyone looks good. 
• Run energizers to get people's blood pumping during post break or post meal dips. These energizers can even have actionable takeaways. 
• End the event with a high energy comedy wrap-up written during the event. 

From corporate summits to international business events, Pep brings humor, adaptability, and energy to every stage. Let’s make your next event as seamless and successful as it is engaging and entertaining. As he sometimes tells event organizers, "You might have problems come up during your event today. But I won't be one of them. In fact, I'll help you solve those problems—and I'll have fun doing it."

Masterclass Workshops
Work Hard.  Laugh Harder. Achieve More.
A Masterclass Workshop will arm your team with new skills that will help them collaborate better, communicate more effectively and tell stories that captivate and convince. This is the stuff AI can't do. It takes a human to collaborate, connect and lead. A Masterclass Workshop from Pep will show you how to do it better.
When Pep leads your team in a workshop, it's not like other workshops your team has been part of. The team will be on their feet, laughing and having fun together while they take in and walk away with actionable takeaways:
