Have Me Speak

I speak frequently to groups of every size and composition on just every topic you find in my blog. I'd be happy to come speak to your group, meeting, or conference. I'm particularly interested in speaking on Web Services, digital identity, operational excellence in IT organizations, IT governance, eBusiness, eGovernment, the use of weblogs in organizations, and current trends in IT. I speak well to general audiences as well as more technical audiences. I'm comfortable giving one-hour keynote style speeches, conducting panels, or moderating group discussions.
