Venue
Queen Mother Building , Dundee, GB
Cost
Free

This is an evening of Grok talks (short 10 minute presentations) and micro-presentations (20-slides, 20-seconds-per-slide). If you have something to talk about bring a presentation. Want some ideas? You can talk about anything you want if you think software developers will be interested in it. Did you discover a new technique that makes life easier, or produces faster results? Did you hit a problem and want to ensure others don't make the same mistake? Are you just really enthusiastic about something and want to show others?

If your talk is slides only and you don't want to bring a laptop we'll have a laptop with PowerPoint 2007 installed that you can load your presentation onto - just remember your USB Key!

You don't have to bring a talk, you may just want to get information on lots of subjects in one go.
