The role of conference chairman is a crucial one to ensuring the success of any event, and your energy, professionalism and ability to keep to time played an enormous part in this, no mean feat and something which was hugely appreciated.”

“Engaging and Energetic - to describe Mark in two words. In both his roles at our SCM Logistics World conference – Conference Chairman and Speaker - he was able to engage the audience and bring a good discussion to the conference.  Mark has great knowledge of the supply chain industry and if anyone doesn’t know Mark before the conference, they sure will know him by the end!“

“In December 2013, I attended a conference (Port Development and Expansion) in Jakarta for two days. Mark was the conference’s chairman of the first day and also a keynote speaker. Mark facilitation and contribution extremely contributed to the success of the conference. He has all competencies that a conference speaker or moderator needs. He is able to keep the audience attention high while he is speaking. He can summarize and link the speakers’ topics effectively. He asks the speakers key questions to make things more clear to the audience and gain as much as possible from the experience of the speaker. Also, Mark was very close to the audience during the breaks and tries to seek for their expectation from the conference to try to meet them during the conference.”

“As Conference Chairman you are quick on your feet to encourage the audience to dig deep into certain trend of thoughts - this makes the conference a lot livelier and interesting, not forgetting the benefits that audiences take away from such deep and open discussions.”

“I was really impressed by Mark’s performance as the conference chairman and panel discussion moderator. He not only organized the conference discussion in a logic, smooth and comfortable way, but also has the technical expertise to guide the panel discussion even when we were discussing the technical trade compliance topics - and with necessary humor. I really enjoyed the interaction with him and that was one of best conference that I would like to recommend. Thanks Mark!”

Whether he is a presenter, panel moderator or the conference chairman, Mark’s output is a constant 110+++ per cent. His energy is that of a marathon runner from start to finish of the conference program! His depth of industry knowledge is diverse, detailed and beyond question. Whenever I see Mark’s name attached to a conference program, I will always try to attend - he is simply the best in the business!”

“Mark, you did a fantastic job as conference chairman. I really liked the energetic way you moderated the sessions, demonstrating in-depth knowledge of the topics as well as demonstrating your very professional moderating skills. In particular, your concluding synopsis was excellent – providing the audience with valuable reminders of the main points from all fourteen speakers. This proved to be most valuable in recapping the key topics discussed - and served to reinforce the learning gained from the speaker sessions. Your in-depth knowledge, polished communication skills and enthusiastic style made a huge and valuable difference to the conference.”

Veve Lo, Marketing Manager, Palm Oil Industrial Cluster, Sabah, Malaysia

“Dear Mr. Millar, I was completely impressed with your ability to improvise and the initiative you exhibited as our conference moderator for the recent SCM event in Atlanta.  Given the importance of the event, and the high level of executives in attendance, I was especially concerned when a key panelist for the session I was set to host had to bow out due to emergency circumstances.  As we were casting about wondering what to do in the 5 minutes we had before show time, you appeared, suggested the solution of moving me from host to panelist, and volunteered to act as host in my stead. In addition to saving a panel session that likely would have been ruined, your industry knowledge prepared you to moderate a topic you heard for the first time as we made our presentations!  The questions you posed were spot on, the wit, humor and the audience encouragement you exhibited made for a great learning experience for all. 

Keith G. Biondo, Publisher, Inbound Logistics Magazine, New YorkMay 2013 in Atlanta, USA

“I had the opportunity to work with Mark in February 2013 when he was the conference chair for the inaugural Clark Aviation Conference.  Mark is an extremely well versed master of ceremonies who was able to keep a very tight schedule filled with speakers and panelists on time and on topic.  Much more than a typical event host, Mark’s background knowledge of the logistics industry provides him with additional insight which he uses on stage to engage with both the audience and speakers.   He was able to keep an even flow of dialogue during the question and answer sessions of each panel discussion which brought the best from the speakers.  I would highly recommend Mark and plan to utilize his talents for future events”

"At the recent GLCS Conference in Kuala Lumpur, we saw a remarkable chair person with high charisma and versatile Supply Chain knowledge. It was a wonderful moment for every speaker of this conference to meet Mark Millar who shared his depth of talent with outstanding command and high dedication in Supply Chain Management"

Mohan Selvaraju, Training Consultant, RP Management Services, Malaysia

“Mark was a moderator and a presenter at EFT’s recent 3PL Summit & Chief Supply Chain Forum in Chicago. His passion for supply chain is what makes him a fantastic conference moderator and presenter. That passion, combined with infinite knowledge on supply chain & logistics in Asian markets creates an atmosphere of interactivity and excitement in the room. From a moderator perspective, his questions are challenging and get right to the heart of the issues that affect global executives. From a presenter point of view, he avoids the “slide…click…slide…click” routine that so many presenters fall foul of, to foster an engaging environment that provides tangible value to conference delegates.

Of course, my opinion would count for nothing if our delegates didn’t leave our conferences feeling that the time taken out of the office was well spent. I know from the feedback that EFT have received on Mark’s involvement that he has contributed hugely to our customer satisfaction and that he has greatly enriched their understanding on key emerging markets issues. I hope to continue to work with Mark long into the future.”

It was indeed a great experience to be there while you are handling the job of a moderator, and to hear your powerful speech and your knowledge on Supply Chain is really commendable.

“Mark Millar was a great “late minute addition” Moderator for our recent panel session at the Supply Chain Asia Forum in Singapore. Even though he was only given an hours (at most) notice, he jumped into the situation wholeheartedly. This is testament to his long-standing understanding of the logistics industry and his skills as communicator. Good fun and we hope to give Mark a little more warning next year!”

“Mark has proven time and again to be an engaging chairperson who not only orchestrates the flow of sessions well but also has a remarkable ability to summarize presentations yet add value to them and set up the speakers for the Q&A sessions.  Like a good referee in a football game, you don’t notice that he’s there, yet you know his mastery of the situation is key to making the game fun to watch and crucial to facilitating its smooth running.  With Mark at the helm of any session, it is sure to be an engaging one, even during the ‘graveyard shifts’ like after lunch or on the last session of the last day of seminars!  As a fellow ‘serial speaker and chairperson’ who have been involved in countless seminars and conferences around the world, I cannot give Mark – pardon the pun – a higher mark by saying that he could walk straight into in my Dream Team of speakers and chairpersons if I were an events’ organizer”.

“You are a great moderator, you were able to engage everybody in the panel, including the Japanese guest, as if I was watching a talk show on TV.

Moderating the panel discussion on Quality Control with as diverse an audience that we had took skill and diplomacy. It was a joy to watch a master at work!

He then is skilled to ask that 1st key question to the presenter and audience that brings the subject matter back to relevance to all. This is an obvious talent".
