Since her first Motorola RAZR flip phone, Beth has made a verb out of the word “nerd.” She’s here to help you filter through thousands of apps, gadgets, widgets and doodads to find the perfect free and bargain technology tools for work and home. Although the only real trophy she ever won was for making perfect French fries at McDonald’s in high school, Beth Z has been featured on Best Speaker lists by several organizations who write best speaker lists. She has written a whole shelf of books on apps and has spoken to more than 100 thousand audience members just like you. And if you’re puzzling over why she goes by “Beth Z”… it’s because she only finds about three people a year who can pronounce her last name.

Beth Ziesenis Reviews

“I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting you, and what a great job you did at our meeting. Every single evaluation I received raved about your presentation. One of the questions on the evaluation is “What did you like best about the meeting”–you were their favorite, hands down. I hope we will be able to have you back again.”

— American College of Emergency Physicians

“Beth is constantly researching new tech tools and apps to improve your productivity, security, as well as amazing promotional/marketing tools. Each presentation she does is customized to the group with great ideas she discovered as recently as yesterday. Beth shares not only all these apps and tools, but how to use them, as well as pros and cons of each. Her webinars are interactive and innovative.”

— Senior Education Coordinator, Iowa Bankers Association
