Milenko Matanovic Reviews

  • “I’ve heard many fine keynote speeches, but none better than Milenko’s address to the 2012 Philanthropy Northwest Annual Conference. His combination of thoughtfulness, experience, wit and grace captivated his audience, and kept them coming back to his themes (and to him) throughout the conference. He took the time to get to know his audience, so that he could meet us on our ground, and then help us view that ground in a new light.” Dan Kemmis, Associate of the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, Senior Fellow Center for Natural Resources & Environmental Policy “The theme of our conference was Taking Root: Community-centered Philanthropy. Our central tenet was that philanthropy at its best deeply respects the place, time and people that define those communities. The challenge was to find an opening keynote speaker to demonstrate this philosophy and inspire our participants. Milenko set the tone perfectly. He was the perfect balance of inspiration and application. He was one of the highest rated keynotes we’ve ever had and I would highly recommend him.” Lyn Hunter, Philanthropy Northwest “Your presentation was hands-down the highlight of the day! You can be sure that your ideas have sparked conversation that will continue throughout the year and beyond with this group of leaders.” Sue Bennett, Senior Leadership Director, Leadership Tomorrow “(Milenko's) presence, process and tone took the event (CityResilient) to a whole other level!“ Sarah Szalavitz, CEO 7Robot, MIT Media Lab
