Resources from the web site of Well House Consulaants on the subject of Talks and lectures. We provide open source training course and business hotel accommodation in Melksham, Wiltshire, England

From time to time, I'm asked to talk to larger groups. Where that's an evening event close to our base that doesn't mean I have to take a day off training I'm usually happy to oblige.

I was describing how we've been, twice, on Neil Bauman's Geek Cruises but never been asked to talk or lecture, even in a "lightning session" on them.
