"I had the privilege of hearing Alexander Blass's keynote speech yesterday at IBM Innovate 2010. He kept the audience spellbound with his speech... he took the ancient Indian culture and perfectly blended it with modern day technology. He kept us all motivated and inspired."
"I attended Alexander Blass's session this morning. Wow, it was undoubtedly one of the best sessions I have ever attended. The key takeaway for me was that if you breathe, if you eat for your living, you should innovate for your living. And innovation and energy go hand in hand, so I am requesting Alexander to give me some of his energy and innovation skills so that I can survive in this world. Thanks Alexander!"
