[Analysis of The Top 100 “Most Wanted” Tech Speakers]

Earlier last week Bizzabo (creators of killer software apps for conferences) put together a list of the top 100 most wanted speakers on the tech circuit. The speakers were picked based upon feedback scores from over 3,000 conferences and keynotes, search data and social media buzz. The list consisted of all the usual suspects (the top 10 are below but you can see the full list here), so rather than have the usual conversations about who we agree with and who it’s currently cool to hate (Schmidt?) ~ I thought it would be more interesting to have a deeper look into the rankings…

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Found this article thanks to a Tweet by my Segway bud, Charlie Southwell (@charliesaidthat). It’s interesting to see how social media plays a huge part in most of this. And gee…I’m not on the list? (Just kidding! Give me time, though! LOL)

 

Take a look…compelling stuff here.
