as a founding commentator for Cnn, novak hosted The novak Zone, served as the tough-minded, conservative co-host of Cnn’s history-making television show Crossfire and was co-executive producer of the popular public affairs program The Capital Gang.
as founding author of the nationally syndicated inside report, novak has influenced generations of politi-cians and journalists. The depth and scope of his work continues with the publication of the twice-monthly evans-novak Political report and on occasional appearances on nBC’s Meet the Press. He is the 2001 win-ner of the national Press Club’s Fourth estate award for lifetime achievement in Journalism.
incisive and direct, novak offers deft and informed analyses of the White House, Congress, the War on Terrorism, the economy, important nominations, the 2008 election, Social Security, campaign finance, term limits and the headline issues of the day.

BoB Gray, ConSulTanT, MeMorY eDGe CorPoraTion
Bob Gray immigrated to Canada from england in 1979 as an entertainer. He im-migrated under a unique condition...he had to prove he wasn’t taking a job from a Canadian. He wasn’t, in fact Bob wasn’t taking a job from anyone else in the world. He was uniquely qualified for the job. He would be demonstrating on stage some unique talents that netted him a place in the ‘Guinness Book of World records.’ after demonstrating these abilities to an amazed immigration official, his passport was stamped and he became a Canadian.
For the next several years, Bob traveled north america demonstrating his incredible memory and unique abili-ties, working comedy clubs, universities and Colleges. Then he switched careers and entered the fitness industry. using his memory techniques he never forgot a client’s name, he remembered their individual fitness goals, interests, hobbies and even the names of their spouse’s and children. Consequently he quickly became the top salesperson winning every individual sales contest the company offered. He was promoted through the ranks from salesperson to ultimately becoming a partner in the company.
Since leaving the fitness industry, Bob has developed a series of hilarious sales oriented and self improvement keynotes and workshops including ‘The Turbo Charged Brain’, “i’m no Good With names...But i never Forget a Face!” and ‘181 Minutes To Total recall’, (The Master Program.’)
Besides his many television appearances, (including ‘ripley’s Believe it or not’, The nBC Today Show and regis) Bob has taught and entertained groups of between 20 and 2500 people on four continents.
