“When we first named Ball to the most-influential list in 2000, we said the industry had a crying need for more people like him,
who could provide organizations with perspective on how to use technology to improve their meetings management. 
There just aren't a lot of places organizations can turn to for this kind of help.”  
Meeting News, July 14, 2003 

Ball is "the foremost authority on all things tech when it comes to the meetings industry."
 MeetingNews, July 15, 2002

"Ball is about as far ahead of the filed in meetings-technology consultation as Tiger Woods is ahead of his fellow golf pros."
MeetingNews, July 16, 2001

If you set about counting on one hand the number of big-picture experts in [meetings] industry technology
(who aren't biased by virtue of their employment with specific tech companies), you'll have fingers to spare."
