Have your meeting planners in New York booked a business speaker yet?

Mark Hughes might be a speaker your meeting planners in New York should contact.

Several call him the $300 million dollar man.  Time magazine calls him the guru behind “one of the greatest publicity coups in history.”

Mark Hughes put Half.com on the map, literally, by convincing the tiny town of Halfway, Oregon to rename itself to Half.com, Oregon.  That one idea, as crazy as it may seem, had a method to its madness.

The payoff?  eBay bought the company for a mountainous $300 million just six months later.
