Like many others, we pay tribute to the great host Alex Trebek with this challenging, 8-question BIMS 2020 quiz (Dec. 2-4). One other similarity with Jeopardy at BIMS is that we'll give you loads of answers and welcome all your questions! See how you rank here with your peers!

I was watching Jeopardy the other night—okay, it has become the highlight of my exciting evenings—and in Final Jeopardy they asked something about an Ernest Hemingway novel and Spain. Oh my gosh, I shouted, happy to be out of a Zoom box for the first time all day, it's The Sun Also Rises!   On Monday, June 1, the sun will rise on SIPA 2020, our first-ever, two-day virtual annual conference, and the lineup is shaping up to be exceptional. (Early-bird prices expire on Saturday.) So figuring that you can get all the details on the website and with my current love of quizzes, I devised my own, based on six of the sessions. Good luck.   1. Fill in the blank: A Euromoney article today led with this paragraph: "At the start of April, Exabel, an artificial intelligence and machine-learning platform for active asset managers, partnered with 1010data, __________________ data provider to the retail, consumer packaged ...

What's your niche publishing IQ? Answer these seven questions on topics that will all be addressed in greater detail at SIPA Annual 2019, June 3-5 in Washington, D.C. 

There was the Jackson 5 (can you name them?), Michigan's Fab 5, the 2019 Super Bowl halftime act Maroon 5 (really), and, of course, 5 Golden Rings (we're only a couple months away from the holidays). Add to that BIMS 5.

With the early bird discount set to expire on Friday for SIPA Annual 2018, June 5-7 in Washington, D.C., it seems like a good time to highlight some bright and shining new speakers (denoted by *) and the sessions (underlined) they will be leading. See how many of these quiz questions you can get right. (Answers are below.)

What better way to test your publishing knowledge than a quiz involving sessions and speakers from our next two big events: the Business Information & Media Summit (BIMS), Nov. 13-15, in Fort Lauderdale, and the Best Practices Conference on Website Optimization: Increase Your Traffic, Customer Engagement and Sales in Atlanta, Oct. 19. Good luck!

A few months ago, I mentioned NRKbeta, the tech vertical of a Norwegian public broadcaster, in a story. Readers were asked to take a quiz of three basic questions from an article they just read, before being allowed to comment.

When the Design Engineering and Sourcing (DES) Group of SIIA member Penton needed to increase engagement last year in a fun, cost-effective way, it turned to a bracket- and quiz-based STEM Starter Tournament. The DES Group provides information and education on new applications, emerging technologies and product trends for professionals in design engineering and sourcing.
