Jim Boykin’s Conference Presentations
To see any presentation, use the password of “ninjas” to access it.
I attended my first industry conference in 2002 and I began speaking at them in 2005.
This page has all the conference information I could dig up, not all of it, but a fairly good chunk of it. Currently I’ve been able to locate 144 presentations from 116 conferences.
Below is a timeline of where I spoke, when, what I talked about, and sometimes, what people said afterwards.
