All presentations were extremely well done. Thanks to all who participated and volunteered to make this a great event.
MIT-EF was the best year yet and I have been to the White Board Challenge every year. There were ten solid presentations and the coaching really showed. Every presenter finished on time and you knew what they were trying to say. In first place, ReadyPing with Joe Sprovieri won the top prize of $3,000 in cash. More here.
