This talk may be made available to SAGE (a Tech Talk member).

Other Talks Welcome

BIM welcomes talks short & long;
You don't need to be a professional or a marketing type, in fact we'd much prefer you were Not a marketing type.
We're after technology, not a sales pitch
As short as 5 mins will do, we could tack together several short presentations by different people on tools they may be used to, but others may not.
Either suggest your idea to the BIM mail list, or if you want to float it privately first, tell Julian (or anyone else you know at BIM)
Some are too shy & modest, they do things they assume we all know, or would be bored with, when we'd perhaps welcome a short talk / demo, do encourage you modest/ shy etc fellow BIM members to offer something.
Sometimes some of us attend other group's talks (eg several BIM @ Faraday's optic fibre talk end of 2006.
More recently we now have TechTalk to reciprocaly alert BIM & other groups to talks.

The Team Of Co-Presenters has its own mail list

Purpose: To enable internal non public discussion by co-lecturers to a BIM talk/ presentation/ vortrag, to co-ordinate who presents what topic, & to assemble material for slides/ projector / beamer etc.

At your evening Stammtisch, offer of a Pizza & Beer might encourage our speaker (if he/ she's not a member of your Stammtisch already too)
Professional associates of BSDPIE can also offer similar service in your offices, or at your conference, but speakers during the working day can require considerably more incentive than a pizza & beer .. depending !
