This scheduled post is coming to you from Seattle, where the PASS Summit 2018 has just kicked off.
Because it is a scheduled post, I have no idea what announcements from the convention will be made today and tomorrow, but rest assured that they will be worth looking at.
In the meantime, I have been selected as one of this year’s contestants for Speaker Idol, and will be presenting my session this Friday morning at 11:15am local time.
As of this writing, these are the twelve contestants:
Wednesday (4:45 PM)
- Heidi Hasting
- Ameena Lalani
- Christopher Wolff
- Dennes Torres de Oliveira
Thursday (4:45 PM)
- Leslie Andrews
- Janusz Rokicki
- Michael Johnson
- Paresh Motiwala
Friday (11:15 AM)
- Randolph West
- Peter Shore
- James Donahoe
- Rob Volk
I know a lot of these fine people, and all of them are worthy opponents. Our sessions take the form of five-minute lightning talks. Winners from each of the three rounds go through to the final, along with one wild-card entry.
The judges are Allan Hirt, Joey D’Antoni, Kendra Little, and Mark Simms.
Please make some time this week to support them (the first session is today at 4:45pm), and if you can, please support me on Friday at 11:15am.
