2GX - GR8 in the US Speaker/Presentation screening

[Bill Turner]

Hi All,

In order for us to make better judgments in our proposal selection
process, we are hoping that all those that were at 2GX will help us by
rating the various presentations you saw, as well as rating the
speakers. Simply place a +1, 0, or -1 next to the presentations, then
same for the speakers (measuring their overall presentation skills).
Finally, if you want to a suggestion for the kickoff and keynote
speakers (these being people you think are most dynamic), add that as
well. Of course, reply to this in private.

Your cooperation is truly appreciated!

Bill
