Who develops the program for Vortex?

The program for Vortex is developed by technology pundit and Executive Producer, Bob Metcalfe, Associate Producer, John Gallant, of NetworkWorld, and the Vortex 2000 Advisory Board. Vortex will feature original presentations designed in collaboration with Bob, John and each individual speaker. Because we proactively seek out speakers who will spark thought-provoking debate and forward-thinking discussions, we do not accept speech proposals or have a call for papers.
