We have completed the first three days of the 2010 Ideas to Impact Conference. With one day left, all the feedback we are receiving is that this year’s event is a big success. One of the many changes this year is having four keynote speakers. It will be hard to improve on the lineup of speakers in future events.
Below is the bio information on each speaker. You can tell how well a speaker is going over with the audience by how many people leave the ballroom during the event. This year, it’s been full attendance until the final round of applause.
