Conference Presentations
I have been selected as a presenter at the Business Objects conferences hosted in the United States every year from 1996 through 2009. I consider it quite an honor to be selected year after year as I assume it means that I am doing something right. I have started posting my most recent presentations here on my blog and as I have time hope to work my way backward to post stuff from previous years as well. The most current presentations will always be on the top of the list.
As of the 2009 GBN conference I am going to try to start including links to related posts. A “related post” is one where I have taken a series of slides from a presentation and written up a blog post about that part of the presentation. It’s almost like being there to hear me talk, but without the bad puns and terrible jokes. 
If there aren’t any related posts listed it means I have not written them yet, or perhaps I have not had the time to go back through and index them here.
