ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Hiett Ives is Managing Director of Show Dynamics, a B2B trade show marketing company he founded in 1989 and represents the Mission of Yahweh. He is also the purveyor of That Ain't Not Right (TANR) - The Use and Abuse of the English Language - a weekly 450+ email publication covering uses, abuses and "Pet Peeves" relative to the English language.
