    • Capturing the magic…

      “In March, several of my clients were really struggling. They had cornerstone marketing events disrupted by the pandemic. Incredibly quickly, Louis helped them to reimagine their conference, explore the possibilities of how a virtual event could capture the magic of an in-person event, and he showed them a path forward.” – Jeremy Miller, Sticky Branding

      The Learngistics team’s focus on understanding our goals and our audience was key to us moving forward with them.  They nailed it! They are the go to professionals in the ‘virtual’ conference space. – Peggy Tyers, Director, Business Development, Wealth Stewards Inc.

    • Please Mom – just stop!

      “My son and his team are awesome, but I don’t want this to go to his head, so I’m only leaving 2 stars!” – Mary, Louis’ mother.

    • So easy to work with …

      I have been contracting LMT for several years now, primarily for sourcing venues to hold training. The service was always amazing and the team so easy to work with. It therefore came as no surprise that when our country was stopped still due to COVID-19, Louis and team were able to pivot and adapt so quickly. I now contract them for all my production needs as our training has moved to the virtual space. They are able to put our Presenters at ease with a new medium … folks who are used to standing in front of a class … and take away all production related worries, leaving them to focus on delivering material to our learners. Service provision in both English and French, across all times zones, has been awesome. It’s easy to see that as a company, they put great priority on being efficient and effective … booking and billing are as easy as actual classroom time. A pleasure to work with AND recommend. – Jane Bradbrook, Program Manager, MFD and PFS, RBC

    • We love giving pleasure …

      “Learngistics team is always quick to respond and help, even at the 11th hour! They are a pleasure to work with and have been a great help in assisting with the virtual production of our larger online events.” – Shelby Gobbo, Go Roundtable

    • We’re instruments …

      Moving our live international conference to a virtual format seemed like a daunting task.   The team at Learngistics jumped right in and have been instrumental in delivering a quality production and guidance through the entire project.- Craig German, Director Of Marketing, Deighton

    • We’re the go-to team

      When we launched I4PL’s Certificate Programs, we needed a place to run our courses. I contacted Louis, and it was the best decision I could have made. He and the team are dedicated to helping us succeed. They’re incredibly flexible and work with us and for us. Whether it’s rooms in Toronto or Ottawa, they’re my go to team. – Steve Blane, Program Director, I4PL Certificate Programs
