Hire Dave Eng as your Speaker

Thanks for considering me as a speaker for your event! I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your audience, needs, and goals. My priority is always to help you accomplish your goals to meet your outcomes.

My speaking, presenting, and facilitation style is varied. Depending on your requirements I can provide an engaging presentation; an in-depth seminar; or a highly-focused workshop.

No matter what method, modality, or focus you choose you can always expect me to create an interactive and engaging learning experience for you, your colleagues, and your students. My work is focused on immediate application for your group, organization, or institution. My professional philosophies are grounded in theory; informed by research; and designed for immediate use.

Each of my speaking engagements is an opportunity for me to share resources, ideas, and applications to help you use games, gamification, games-based learning, and learning design principles in practice.

I facilitate learning experiences on the following topics:

Games, Gamification, and Games-Based Learning
Learning and Educational Game Design
Experiential Learning
Ludology & Game Studies
Instructional Design, Curriculum Development, and Course Design
Live Synchronous Teaching & Presentation Design
I also offer courses for individuals, groups, and campuses on any of these topics.

“Dave's contribution to the field of learning games through his podcasts and the University XP website has been useful to me as a learning professional. The ideas and discussion points he presents takes the field forward. He is insightful and goes out of his way to provide guidance. I am looking forward to more of his content, always.”

“Dave is a wonderful speaker and it was a privilege to present with him on the topic of Representation in Games for the first-ever PAX Online. Not only does he have a unique insight into the historical outcomes of misrepresentation, but his vision for solution-centric approaches is what the industry currently needs to create a culture of inclusion. In addition to his professionalism, he is organized, and a true leader in the field who provides room at the table to have the necessary conversations.”

“I discovered Dave's work a few months ago and I was so impressed by his articles that I asked him to translate them into French for our site : his knowledge of gamification and his thinking are really an added value for French teachers. His site is really rich and I encourage everyone to go there. I am an avid reader of his articles and his webinars are really excellent. Definitely a reference site and Dave is great and so interesting. Thank you for this great resource and everything you share Dave which is so helpful to us.”

“I met Dave through a Facebook group where he was posting his UniversityXP.com blog posts. I quickly started talking with Dave and following UniversityXP more closely. He was supportive of my graduate work and offered to help in any way he could. Not only was he engaging and helpful, but he also encouraged me to push my work further. When I was teaching about game-based pedagogy I gave my students blog posts from University XP because they are digestible articulate pieces on complicated subjects. Dave has been a great mentor and I hope to work with him more in the future.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the structure and format for your engagements?

I create engaging learning experiences designed to meet the goals of your audience. Engagements can be offered as interactive presentations (1-2 hours), half-day sessions (3-4 hours), or multi-day programs. All engagements can be offered in multiple different modalities including in-person, online, or blended formats.

What’s included in each engagement?

I provide a resource packet, summary, and takeaways for each participant at the event. This resource packet includes curated and recommended resources along with additional readings.
Institutions, organizations, and groups are eligible to receive bulk discounts on digital resources, online courses, or block-scheduled engagements.

Are travel expenses included?

Every organization’s needs are different when it comes to contracting speakers. I pledge to work with you to provide the necessary forms, documents, information, receipts, and reports in any format you need for your budget, bursar, business, or accounts payable office.
I am flexible and can combine the speaking fee and travel expenses into one proposal or separate out all expenses and submit receipts for reimbursement. My preference is to make all transportation arrangements (flight, ground transportation, transfers) myself while leaving lodging and meals to the event host.
