Speaker	Speech title	Evaluator	Summary
Rob Koenig	A Trade Show Sales Manager’s Sales Rally for Comdex – Las Vegas Spring 2002	Sanu Samuel	Specialty Speech #2 – Rob exhorted his salespeople to get out there and sell ..sell..sell. He mentioned that getting clients has been more difficult since 9-11, but the amenities provided by the casino should be enough to prompt customers to attend the upcoming Trade Show.
Al Wheeler	Money for Nothing	George McKenna	Al exhorted us to buy...buy..buy. Social Security will not be enough to make our golden years comfortable, so we must invest wisely in bonds, stocks or CD’s. Also we ought to minimize or get rid of those insidious credit cards which deplete our savings.
John Keeton	Creating the Best Club Climate	George Hast	Successful Club Series - John came up with a list of features of a successful club that attracts new members. A club should be timely, organized, challenging, educational, and enjoyable. He emphasized we should pay attention to things like receiving and releasing the lectern properly.
