The MUG Center’s Top User Group Presenters Awards winners for 2007 include some familiar faces and a hard-fought battle for second place. Once again, Apple took the top slot with a total of 56 appearances, up from last year’s 36.
Apple Senior Systems Engineer Dave Marra led the Apple presenters, making a total of 16 user group stops himself. Backing Dave up with multiple presentations were Dreux Ste. Marie, Don Peebles, Francis Sheppard, Bob Bowman, Aaron Davis and many others.
Coming in second were the team of Gordon and Jennifer Bell from Prosoft Engineering. They made 24 appearances.
Running a close third was James Lee of Tropical Software. He placed in the top three for the third straight year with a total of 22 MUG presentations.
The MacNotables panel, while not counted as a vendor, ran up a tally of 30 MUG appearances, led by Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus with 11 stops of his own, helped along by his annual Mid-Atlantic MUG Tour. Farther down the count list were MacSpeech with 9, Adobe at 8, and Doug Troxell of iRemember with 7.
The MUG Center is an online resource for Mac User Groups (MUGs).
