The Donald J. Gregory Best Presentation is presented during the annual UNITE Conference to speakers that rise above the rest and do an exceptional job during their presentation.
In 2004, the UNITE Board of Directors renamed the Best Presentation Award to the Donald J. Gregory Best Presentation Award in honor of Don Gregory, a longtime friend and very active member of the Burroughs and Unisys communities, a former President of the CUBE (Burroughs user group) organization, a strong supporter of Unite, and a UNITE Best Presentation Award recipient in 1995.
The Award recognizes the excellence in both content and presentation by speakers at UNITE conferences. Generally one or more awards are made by the UNITE Board and Conference Planning team at each conference.
The Award is based on conference attendee evaluations submitted for each session. Speakers are rated on session content, topic knowledge, presentation skills, and their ability to engage the audience.
Recipients of the Award are honored at the next Annual Conference and will be designated as a Donald J. Gregory Best Presentation Award recipient at any future presentations and in the Conference Agenda.
Give a presentation and you may be recognized as a leader in our industry.
