Whether they were fans of William Shatner from his days as Capt. James T. Kirk on Star Trek, or prefer his current, two-time Emmy award-winning role as master litigator Denny Crane on Boston Legal, attendees here in Orlando at the ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum packed Mondays Opening General Session to hear his words of wisdom about something the actor knows a lot aboutreinventing oneself and ones world.
Not everyone was thrilled with Mr. Shatner's appearance (a bit too casual for some), and his presentation style (too low-tech for this crowd, delivered straight from a printed text, and not always smoothly). You can read all about that aspect of his speech at NU Tech Editor Ara Trembly's blog at www.insurancetechguru.com.
But I didn't really care. I'm a huge fan of both Capt. Kirk and Denny Crane, and it was nice to get a break from the droning on about insurance, tech and standards experts. I give ACORD and LOMA credit for trying to change the pace and let people have some fun.
