Arnold, much sought-after consultant, popular lecturer and established author on technology, has established and funded a new award for the “Best Paper at the 11th Search Engine Meeting”.  The “EVVIE,” a special award honoring one of the leaders in the technology industry, will be presented at the 11th Annual Search Engine Meeting April 24-25, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts (USA).
