There was an obvious attempt (some says two) to do it again this year, but..
Nope he did not get it..
for an hour or so David Cavanagh went on stage reminding, teasing, boasting of his past achievement of being voted Best Speaker in Singapore 2005.
He even wrote on the easel "David is Sexy" or something to that effect..
That still didn't work..
At the end of the event, the combination of sauve stage presence, immaculate showmanship and keeping things simple still connects best with the audience..

I personally was full of praise for Rick Raddatz and John Childers before the results were out.
It was no suprise when Brett MaFall announce John Childers the Best Speaker of World Internet Summit Singapore 2006.
