John Herrington Reviews

  • NSF - Jul 05 2024

  • University of Central Oklahoma - Mar 14 2024

  • AAE is one of the most professional companies I have worked with to acquire a guest speaker. The booking agent and logistics manager were both excellent in terms of friendliness and communication. John Herrington was outstanding to work with and should be a "must-have" for any astronomy or science institution wanting a guest speaker. Five stars across the board!
