I like the way you linked the names of the presenters to Linked-in – great job!
Can you also add company names if available, such as IBM, Freedom Scientific, etc.?
Hey Phill- I wasn’t able to find the company name for many of the presenters, so I just added the best link I could find. That said, if you would like to me update the links to any individuals, just let me know and I’m happy to do so!
