Sorry Christine, !

I’ve lost my voice.


Can we do this

Penn & Teller style?


At SEAT we know we can solve anything with

technology. !

This presentation will be living proof.


For those who haven't met me before today

please read these slides with Hugh Jackman's accent

that's how I sound normally (maybe with some Russell Crowe thrown in)


Uncanny (vocal) resemblance


Wow YEAR 8 of SEAT!


(waits for applause)


Take us back to 2007 !

What do you remember?


2007Phoenix


Stand up if you attended

SEAT 2007


If I had a voice this is where I’d comment on each of you but please know I’m doing

that in my heart…


So you decided to do it again in 2008…why?


2008Miami


Did you attend

SEAT 2008? Stand up


Have you noticed a trend? The people standing up are

exceptionally good looking….


It’s so hard to ad-lib on slides….


You doubled attendance in first two years on SEAT.

!

41 to 89 !

(yes I know that is more than double…. 117% increase)


Bigger is better. Did that play a part where

2009 SEAT was?


2009Dallas


SEAT grew again !

150 in Dallas !

(that’s an increase 265% from 2007)


Were you at SEAT 2009 in Dallas?

You know the drill, stand up


It’s OK for those of you who haven’t stood up yet…

you will. !
