Joe Delfgauw Speaking

Joe Delfgauw is an entrepreneur and software founder who has been building businesses since 1996. When he speaks, it is from the operator's chair: the companies he owns run the software, the dialers, and the compliance systems he talks about on stage. His sessions are practical, current, and light on hype.

Where Joe is speaking next

SMS Marketing: history, compliance, and monetization. At Contact.io 2026 in Denver, Joe delivers a 30-minute main-stage session on SMS marketing: where texting as a channel came from, what TCPA actually requires, and how a compliant program turns into real revenue. He also covers the types of SMS, from long code and short code to 10DLC, toll-free, and RCS, and the income streams most operators never build. His team will be at booth #236, open Monday and Tuesday.
