Jeremy Geelan’s Honors:
Winner of the Roundarch 2006 Interactive Experience Award
—"given to companies and individuals that best represent the advancement of Web experiences through the integration of user-centric design and advanced technology.”
Citation: "Jeremy Geelan has been a leading evangelist and critical thinker in the Web 2.0 movement that is reshaping how people experience the web. The evolution of rich internet applications, AJAX, broadband and service orientated architecture are creating a new paradigm of web experiences. Jeremy has been a voice of clarity as this next generation of the web is being redefined and going through its expected growing pains. The overstated promises of Web 1.0 and accompanying irrational exuberance are in stark contrast to the Jeremy’s sober, well informed and insightful evangelization of today’s interactive possibilities."
—Jeff Maling, President and Chief Experience Officer at Roundarch
