> We are beginning an initial search to see who might be interested in presenting. We like to have presentations attendees can “take home and use” and that are new, different and varied. Presentations are requested to be 50 minutes including Q&A. We’re also requesting that the presentations be live (not recorded) except for a possible clip or two. If you would be interested in presenting and are available on November 7, 2015, please provide me with your topic and a brief synopsis of what you would cover. If you know someone who has a good technical presentation or someone who has a topic you would like to hear more about, please let me know that person’s name and contact information.
