Deterministic Scheduling - So Last Century
"Mark presented the keynote address at our 2022 User Conference and it was a huge success. He delivered an engaging presentation on a highly relevant topic for our market, which all of our attendees and staff found incredibly interesting.

Mark was a pleasure to work with on this conference and we would highly recommend him as a public speaker! "
