The Sports Network President & CEO Sought After Internationally as Speaker

HATBORO, Pa., Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sports Network (TSN) – The Sports Network, the nation's premiere real-time source and wire service for sports content, has been juggling requests for its President and CEO, Mickey Charles, to speak at conferences from London to Las Vegas, Dublin to Barcelona, San Francisco to New York for the past year and heading into 2013.

"He is simply the most highly rated speaker, by the participants," noted a spokesperson for TSN, "due to his approach to a myriad of topics presented for his commentary, chairmanship, moderating panels and, frankly, advice on conference sessions as well as other speakers to be sought out.  He is one of the more knowledgeable industry leaders, candid and frank, inquiring and challenging, as well as adding humor and expansive dialogue to the matters at hand.  There is an expectancy level for him, the bar is set higher than for most and Mickey comes through.  Currently, we are already being asked to check his schedule into 2013."

Some of the post-conference results speak for themselves and they are worth noting...from a law and gaming gathering in Las Vegas ... from the chairman of same -
You were great.  I haven't seen the written comments, but a lot of people came up to me to tell me they appreciated your wit and honesty.  I think is was especially helpful because you reinforced, forcefully, what I had been saying about the former congressman, John Porter, and those Tea Party Republicans, including Jon Kyl and Joe Barton. Thanks again for coming up to L.V. for the day.

Another in the U.S. -
I am writing on behalf of C5 to thank you for your kind participation in this conference. With regard to your participation I think you will be pleased to learn that you received particularly favourable scores from participants.  On a scale of one to four, with one (1.0) representing excellent, two (2.0) good, three (3.0) fair and four (4.0) you received from delegates 1.3 for content and 1.3 for presentation. I think you will also be pleased to know that someone wrote "loved this guy" on their evaluation. 

Yet one more in Europe with a similar rating system from those in attendance –
With regard to your participation I think you will be pleased to learn your scores from participants.  On a scale of one to four, with one (1.0) representing excellent, two (2.0) good, three (3.0) fair and four (4.0) you received from delegates 1.5 for content and 1.3 for presentation. I think you will be pleased to know that they enjoyed your message and presentation and described it as "fun, excellent, interesting, humourous" and it 'woke up the audience.'

"There is ongoing competition between conferences world-wide and they must focus on programs, specific sessions and speakers," concluded the spokesperson, "that attract an audience.  It is increasingly apparent that the addition of Mickey Charles, when his schedule allows, is an addition that conferences within the industry seek."
