About
Talk to people that Chris Krimitsos has spent any amount of time with and you’ll hear descriptions like “changemaker,” “motivator,” “catalyst for change,” and “inspiration.” Whether it’s a major corporation’s CEO or a solopreneur, Chris is passionate about being a difference maker. Unlike the featured guest who comes in and delivers a keynote and leaves, slipping out the back door like a national celebrity, Chris Krimitsos is the passionate professional who hangs around talking to anyone who wants his time – to listen, evaluate, and affect change.
Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 1,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community.
Channeling that energy into creating a documentary, now he is making an impact globally. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings. This after having hosted and produced two TV shows earlier in his career. Of note was one of those projects being archived in the Library of Congress.
With a unique skill set programmed to stay out in front of rapid change, Chris Krimitsos – as a speaker, as a business leader, and as a source for growth – is empowering audiences toward better opportunities for succeeding in business in the 21st century.

You can tell Chris is truly devoted to being a force for change in the organizations he speaks to.

Small audiences, large crowds, months of advance prep, or spontaneously put on the spot, Chris has you covered. He’s articulate, passionate, sincere, and brings out the best in everyone he speaks to. For two years I’ve watched Chris address audiences of all shapes and sizes, from local community groups to national conference attendees. He strikes that rare balance between energetic and compassionate. He listens to the needs of the audience and always manages to go beyond the surface to create real value. I recommend him highly.

Chris has changed my life in podcasting, inside and out. He brought me to become a part of his successful documentary, “The Messengers,” made me the keynote speaker in his podcasting convention, and introduced me to many influencers in this industry. I never thought that a chance encounter with him in Chicago would make such a difference in my life. Thank you, Chris, for being you. You’re such a selfless and a beautiful man who I would literally say that I owe you my life!

The energy his inner circle gives off is tremendous and he’s definitely one everyone should connect with.
– Michael Kawula, Entrepreneur & CEO Social Quant
I currently sit on the board of directors for the Meeting Professionals International (MPI) Tampa chapter. There are a total of four MPI chapters in Florida and 72 across the globe. The MPI network consists of more than 22 thousand members. Chris Krimitsos has been invited to speak at several MPI conferences and his sessions are always jam-packed and standing room only. He knows how to engage the crowd, create excitement and pour out passion on the subject he’s speaking about. We also conduct surveys following each conference to get insight from our attendees and people are always asking for more of Chris. I highly recommend Chris Krimitsos to anyone looking for a speaker for their next event.
