Past Speakers

RICDUG has been able to present some of the top speakers in the country to enlighten, humor, and sometimes scare us with leading edge technologies. Each has brought in-depth technical knowledge showing trends as well as solving some of our on-going technical issues. The following list provides a sample of the types and levels of past presentations. We would like to thank each and every one for their contributions to our meetings. If you would like to hear from them again, or have subjects or speakers in mind, please fill out the online survey or just contact one of the RICDUG officers.
