The results are in—we’re excited to announce the winners of the AU 2015 Speaker Awards. Each year we present these awards in recognition of exceptional speakers, based entirely on feedback from AU attendees. We received nearly 13,000 survey responses this year, with speakers averaging higher than 4-out-of-5 in all areas for both passion scores and speaker ratings. This goes to show the amazing expertise at the heart of our AU speaker community—we really do attract the cream of the crop.
To qualify for an award, AU classes needed a survey response rate of at least 25%, and a minimum of 20 attendees (except for Roundtables). Ratings were drawn from an average of 5 areas: speaker preparation, knowledge, presentation ability, quality of materials, and overall class satisfaction.
Without further ado, the AU Las Vegas 2015 Speaker Award winners are:
Best Roundtable
Steven Shell
