| | So... going on the thought that each of us is connected to Kevin Bacon, the President, and/or The Whole World by six or fewer people, I throw myself at your mercy. I am putting together an IT conference for fall and the intended audience has requested some very specific presentation topics. Do any of y'all know anyone who can speak clearly and informatively on any of the following?
- Email services/outsourcing email, other email mgmt (including spam filtering)
- blade servers
- virtualized storage
- technology purchasing
- intrusion detection systems
- paper record storage/electronic archiving/digtizing
The key is the speaker should be able to present information and educate on the topic, not deliver a sales pitch (although if they want to hand out information on their company that is encouraged, just DON'T GIVE ME A SPEECH ABOUT XYZ COMPANY).
Any leads?

| | Does it pay?
(not that I'm qualified for any of them, but I know someone who might be or might know someone)

| | It pays in the warm fuzzy feeling one gets doing something good for nonprofit agencies that help children.
It pays in the sense of collegiality one gets from hanging out with fellow IT folks.
It pays in the number of contacts (and potential customers) one can get from presenting at the event.
It may pay in a free hotel room in Syracuse in October. (The foliage is very nice at that time of year!)

| | Oh, and it pays HUGELY in that whoever comes to speak gets to work with ME!

| | Well, it still wouldn't be me. Although that last pay off would be worth it if I knew anything about the subject matter.
Let me see if I know anyone.
