in social media in an entertaining and inspirational
way. He also helps us see the relevance of those
trends to our current and future business.
Jeff Caldwell’s quick wit, good taste, and clever
material have made him a favorite nationwide. Jeff
has shown his comic wares on TV, as a performer
and a writer, for corporate clients across America,
in colleges (traveling with Comedy Central’s Jon
Stewart), and in comedy clubs from the Improv in
Hollywood to Big Ben’s Rib Crib in Baltimore.
Jeff prepared for greatness at The Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore, Maryland, graduating in civil
engineering, not traditionally considered a “funny”
major. After two years of pretending to read texts
he leapt fully into the hurly-burly of professional
stand-up comedy, and ushered in America’s
brief love aff air with “Engineering Humor.”
Jeff brings his brand of humor to the 2012 MICROS
User Conference and is poised to enlighten us with
his point of view and insights on life and business.
