In the words of the citation to the Roundarch Interactive Experience Award, which he was awarded in March 2007, Jeremy Geelan is "a leading evangelist and critical thinker in the Web 2.0 movement that is reshaping how people experience the web."

Geelan is President & COO of Cloud Expo, Inc., before which he was Sr. VP, Editorial & Events at SYS-CON Media - where he had previously been both Group Publisher & Editorial Director. He has been in the international publishing industry for over a quarter of a century, serving as MD of 21st Century Studies Ltd. and Adamantine Press Limited (international publishers), Joint MD of The Vision Project Limited (a global CD-ROM project), and Chairman of The 21st Century Group - a loosely affiliated group of socially responsible media companies devoted to the simple premise that 'There is always a better way.'

British born and Cambridge-educated, Geelan's "all-media" career spans 30 years and two continents, beginning with prime time program-making for BBC TV and BBC Radio, side by side with writing for the UK's market-leading Daily Mail newspaper, followed by an international book publishing career centered on Adamantine Press in the UK and Greenwood Publishing Group in the US, where he founded Praeger Studies on the 21st Century (Praeger Publishers), a forward-looking, multidisciplinary book series devoted to alternative social, political, economic, educational, cultural, religious, and environmental futures.

Prior to joining the BBC, Geelan founded and managed Logophile Press Limited, publisher of Logophile: The Cambridge Journal of Words & Language, which he launched while still an undergraduate at Trinity College, Cambridge, before building it out in just three years as an international publication with subscribers in 32 countries.

Widely considered a domain expert on the future of the future, Jeremy Geelan's history of speaking and moderating at international conferences already stretches back over a decade.
