Comments from attendees of Camper's talks:
- "In a super-nerdy awesome seminar, moderator Camper English (the Alton Brown of booze and cocktail techniques) enlightened me on beet powder, dragonfruit powder and blue spirulina." - Melissa Townsend, Milk Punch
- "I was so excited to hear Camper English give his talk on dangerous ingredients. Could have listened to him for at least another hour."
- "Camper and his presentation were very interesting - he is clearly a subject matter expert. Made me want to explore this theme more! One of the highlights of Tales for me!"
- So amazing! We were so impressed not only with the style of the presentation but the content. The format. Everything. Amazing."
- "The subject matter was excellent and the level of expertise of the speaker was very apparent."
- "Fascinating & useful information - lively and enjoyable speaker. Bravo, Camper English!"
- "This seminar could not have been better unless it was 3 hours long. Camper’s personality & teaching style is an honor to be around. More bitters & more Camper!!"
- "I’ve watched 2 or 3 of his other seminars. Funny, engaging. He did a lot of pre-work and clearrrrrly knows the in and out. Some of these presenters have 10+ years of only doing one thing, it seems he has actually done so much. Excited to see his presentation next year(s)!"
- "Awesome job covering a difficult and complex subject."
- "“We were beyond excited to secure Camper English’s 'Dangerous Drinks and Risky Techniques' seminar in our 2019 Western Regional Conference programming, especially following his feature in the New York Times. Our attendees appreciated Camper’s engaging presentation style and found his seminar to be packed with imperative information that all bartenders should be equipped with as they are creating and serving cocktails. The positive feedback our attendees immediately shared with us, made it clear that we needed to book him for our 2019 Southern Regional Conference too!” - Aaron Gregory Smith, Executive Director, United States Bartenders’ Guild
