The new User Medal feature went into place this past weekend as part of our Version III update. I haven’t yet entered the information from this topic, but will be getting to it shortly. When they are in place, it will look something like this (look to the left):

Thanks, Steve, these are supposed to just be “speaker” badges, not conference attendance, so this information is perfect.

I haven’t managed to get to this yet, but since we have a 2008 conference coming up I figured I would bump it and get any new speakers set up while I’m going through the list.

Okay, since the 2008 conference is over and I have a spare moment to breathe I have captured everything up to this post in a spreadsheet. Expect to get your speaker icons within the next few days. 
Here’s some fun stuff from the 1996 conference guide… this was the list of exhibitors. How many of these companies still exist?
Angoss Software International
Arbor Software
Base Consulting Group
Baton Rouge International
Business Objects
Context Integration
Dunn Systems
Grant Thorton
IBM
IMS America
Informix
Prism Solutions
Pyramid Technology
Red Brick Systems
SPSS
Stonebridge Technologies
Sybase
Tandem Computers
Vital Soft
Based on the information I have in my spreadsheet, 2007 - Orlando was the high point for BOB speakers. We had 19 speakers with BOB accounts that year. Second place was this year with 15 speakers. The low point, at least as far as what I am able to tell based on volunteered information, was 1997 with only one BOB speaker that year. It was the first “Variables” presentation in New Orleans. Of course BOB didn’t exist then.
There are two BOB members with double-digit conference participation counts. The conferences started in 1995 and run to 2008 for the US, and from 2006 - 2008 for Europe. So there are 17 total conference “slots” that speakers could appear in.
Chris, I was not able to find any record of you speaking in 2003 at Phoenix.
Tom, I didn’t find a record of you speaking in 2004 - Dallas either. Can you provide the name of the session that you gave?
Dave Rathbun (BOB member since 2002-06-06)
Speaker icons have been awarded for those that could be verified. If anything is incorrect please let me know. If your name did not appear in the conference guide as a speaker for a breakout session then a speaker icon was not awarded.
I also included some BOB names that I recognized that had not specifically requested speaker icons. If, for some reason, you do not want the speaker icon shown on your profile pleaset let me know and I will remove it (them).
