James Veitch, Comedian & Writer

James Veitch’s stand-up comedy fit perfectly into this conference. He used slides to show his spoof conversations with the customer service department of famous companies like Kinder Egg. He emails these companies and makes ludicrous and illogical complaints, confusing the people on the other end who are taking the conversation seriously. He had the audience howling. It’s clear James knew his audience because his comedy tied into Conex smoothly!

More about James Veitch
