I think the IBM Speakers' Bureau was such a WONDERFUL project from IBM, and I
sure wish they would revive it.  We had top notch speakers from IBM and had
great turnouts for meetings.  Having a speaker from 'IBM' is a much bigger draw
than a 'non-IBM' speaker (fair or not, it's reality and instant credibility).
