Bobby Dutton is a professional speaker, entrepreneur, and “relentless optimist.” He’s also a licensed commercial pilot and flight instructor — for fun.

Thriving at the intersection of engineering and art, Dutton created GrooveBoston in 2004, built on the statement “Music is No Longer a Spectator Sport.” His team (now called GBM6) is about Making People Happy, through Legendary Events.

Bobby’s pioneering work on event design has won him awards internationally, and he was voted one of the “Top 25 Young Event Pros to Watch” by Special Events Magazine.

After 20+ years of navigating high-stress situations as a business owner and event producer, Bobby found calm in an unlikely place: in the sky. He now teaches these aviation-inspired decision-making tools to thousands through events, keynotes, and workshops.
