What our attendees have to say:
"When I first attended FunnyBizz, it was like going out on a blind date with someone I met on match.com. I was surprised to learn my date was not only a rock star but then also smart & funny as hell! I'm hooked, FunnyBizz & I are married for life. Definitely one of the coolest, most innovative talk series out there today!"
- Mauricio Vergara, Director Business Development, Corpacademy
The most entertaining TED-like talk series I have ever attended!
-Kristen Powers
"I have never seen the audience SO ENGAGED & speakers (who are experts) SO FUNNY."
- Vasil Azarov, CEO Startup Socials
"A place where humor & tech mix together in a mutually beneficial bath."
-Joahua Walters, Performer, Educator, TED speaker, Snap Judgement
"My biggest concern walking into the venue was that I would be highly entertained at the expense of actually learning anything. Boy was I wrong! The variety of speakers struck just the right balance, & I took lots of notes on strategies & ideas that I want to try when I get back to work! FunnyBizz could teach other events how it's done!"- Jennie Tan, Founder, OfficeTally.com
QUESTIONS
Q: Is this event real? It sounds too good to be true.
A: It's as real as the moment you realize you shouldn't have tried to save money by going to Supercuts. Plus, you won't leave FunnyBizz looking like George Jefferson.
Q: I heard a rumor that it is actually possible to die laughing at your event. Can you confirm or deny?
A: Next question. This is too controversial.
Q: Do you have typical business speakers?
A: The point of FunnyBizz is to make younotwant to stab yourself in the head with the nearest sharp implement. That's why only we book speakers you'll actually really enjoy hearing from.
Q: Do business & humor really work together?
A: Yes they do. Just likeSteven Seagal & a strong male ponytail.
