Testimonials about Dave Taylor

"Dave has the capacity to communicate Geeky Issues with charm, humor, intelligence, grace, and understandability. He is captivating. I would go anywhere to hear Dave Taylor speak on any subject."

"Dave Taylor is a true expert in the Unix Community. His depth of knowledge and charisma is a combination that makes him a highly desirable and effective speaker. We were overwhelming happy with his performance at our SysAdmin Seminar and would gladly recommend him for other events."

"Dave Taylor gave a great talk at our Waterside Conference--probably more hot tips for marketing web sites per minute than any talk ever given anywhere!!!!"

"I attend conferences on a regular basis. The recent conference you directed was splendid. Your authoritative yet casual style made me feel extremely confident and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the well-placed humor you would inject from time to time. Many conference traffic cops cause accidents instead of preventing them. You made sure every speaker got to where they needed to be on time and in one piece. I can't wait to attend the next conference you host or direct."

"Dave hit the nail on the head when it comes to the needs of the author to serve his readers. The only flaw I can find with Dave's presentation is that he gave the entire talk and didn't leave out any information -- stuff that he could have easily sold for money to a willing and eager crowd!"

"The best session of our conference was presented by Dave Taylor. Unlike some other speakers who were more interested in giving themselves a pat on the back, Dave filled his presentation with practical 'how to' advice that had everyone in the audience furiously scribbling notes. Filled with examples, his material was taken directly from live web sites, showing that he truly practices what he preaches."

"Given your excellent performance in Seattle, we'll definitely be talking to you about future events."

"Your keynote address was the most well-attended closing keynote we have had! It added even more value to our program and we thank you for contributing your knowledge and expertise."

"Whenever Dave Taylor is on Internet Insider radio, he reaches into his back pocket and finds the exact answer that the caller is looking for - no matter how complex the question. Even more importantly, he shares his answer in a way that our entire audience can understand. Combine his enormous store of knowledge with his humorous touches, and we have a new dimension in radio."

"As a first-time speaker to the mammoth NetWorld+Interop Vegas event, Dave managed to carve himself a niche among the other IT industry heavyweights to tie for first place as the highest-ranked (most well-received) speaker at the Intranet Conference - not an easy task! Attendees comments were such as:

• "fantastic / excellent speaker"
• "If only they were all like this, this was great"
• "great delivery and excellent content"
• "one of the best presentations so far - I will be having a long discussion with our Web design team"

The list goes on and on. A personable speaker backed by highly effective and presentable content, Dave will definitely be one of our most sought-after speakers to have return to N+I. Our goal as the leading high-tech event producers is to showcase speakers that reach out to the attendees at their level and give them the education they came for - Dave delivers."

"Dave Taylor is quickly becoming integral part of Mactivity/Web. He is able to convey his excitement and knowledge of creating wicked cool Macintosh Web sites to users of all levels. Plus, he is an absolute professional, who dealt with some unexpected technical problems quickly and efficiently, without worrying the audience everything was crashing."

"Dave Taylor invented the first Internet Mall, he wrote Elm, and he seems to continue working at the cutting edge of Internet commerce. We like Dave to check in with RadioNet Talk Radio now and then."

"As a speaker and author myself, I know quite a few people who speak about the Internet. One of the reasons I like to hear Dave Taylor is that he has a common sense approach to the technical aspects involved -- he doesn't let our need to harness the technology get in the way of understanding that the technology itself is only a tool to accomplish other things. And he can explain the technology clearly. I never hesitate to recommend his work, whether spoken or written, to people who might want to know more about Internetworking."

"Dave Taylor is consistently entertaining, well informed and a natural educator. It is always a pleasure to have Dave as a guest on our programs".

"Dave Taylor's Seminar 'Using the Internet for Personal, Professional and Business Benefit' was the best meeting I have attended regarding this issue. Dave was able to explain to the group, in easy-to-understand language, many of the informative and beneficial uses for the Internet. I would recommend Intuitive Systems and Dave Taylor to anyone wanting to learn about this rapidly growing resource."
