Susan Hura, one of the head organizers of SpeechTek this year, just posted following on the VUIDS Yahoogroups group:

For those of you coming to SpeechTEK next month, Tim Pearce from Dimension Data and Mike Bergelson from Cisco are going to present year 2 data from the Alignment Index at the conference. We’re kicking off the Business Goals track with this session, Monday, August 18, 10:15-11 AM. We’ll also be hearing about a similar study conducted in the EU by VoiceObjects.

Here is a link to the session.
