KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Beth Z.

Beth Ziesenis: author, speaker, nerd. Since her first Motorola RAZR flip phone, Beth Z has made a verb out of the word "nerd." She's here to help you filter through thousands of apps, gadgets, widgets, and doodads to find the perfect free and bargain technology tools for work and home. Beth Z has been featured on best speaker lists by several organizations, written a whole shelf of books on apps and has spoken to audiences of hundreds of thousands. And if you're puzzling over why she goes by "Beth Z"... it's because she only finds about three people a year who can pronounce her last name.
