Why event teams book Jon Dorenbos

A name your attendees already know

NFL long snapper for 14 years, America's Got Talent finalist and a regular on The Ellen Show. The booking itself helps sell the event.

A story that actually lands

Jon shares a first-person journey from childhood tragedy to the NFL. Real resilience, not a list of tips.

Magic built into the message

World-class magic is his tool, not the point. It keeps the room locked in while the message does the work.

Customized to your business moment

Talk tracks flex to resilience, leadership, change, teamwork, mindset, vision or a sales kickoff.

Proven on the biggest stages

Apple, Marriott, Kroger, RE/MAX, Facebook, Campbell Soup and Hard Rock have all had Jon on stage.

One clear deliverable

A single keynote address, built as the marquee moment of your agenda. No workshops or multi-day facilitation.
