Overview
Where Information
Meets Entertainment
Robert Wittman has shared his extraordinary experiences with audiences around the world. Known for his ability to seamlessly blend information with entertainment, his presentations engage art enthusiasts and skeptics alike — from museum professionals to corporate executives.
His presentations draw directly from his decades of FBI undercover work: the high-stakes recoveries, the criminal networks he infiltrated, and the cultural treasures returned to the nations that lost them. Few speakers can match the drama, insight, or authenticity Wittman brings to the stage.
He regularly speaks at university, corporate, museum, and literary events across the nation and internationally.
