As Christian Nagel notes the INETA Europe - UK and Ireland web page launched today, including the new INETA UK and Ireland Regional Speaker Bureau. The Regional Speaker Bureau is a collection of technology experts and highly-rated speakers who are now available to present at regional User Group events. If you’re in the UK or Ireland and would like to hear any of these people speak at your User Group then tell your User Group co-ordinator to contact me or let me know directly (benjaminm at benjaminm.net).
INETA already has a European Speakers Bureau, but to highlight the local talent and encourage more events we’ve established the INETA UK and Ireland Regional Speakers Bureau. This group includes:
These speakers are on top of the three existing UK members of the INETA European Speaker Bureau:
- Alex Homer – ASP.NET MVP, Technical Author, Conference Presenter
- Richard Grimes – Visual C++ MVP, Technical Author, Conference Presenter
- David Sussman – ASP.NET MVP, Technical Author, Conference Presenter
This work is part of my role as the INETA User Group Liaison for the UK and Ireland which I’ve been doing since late last year. My aim is to further improve the .NET Community in this corner of the world by ensuring the regional User Groups get access to great speakers for their meetings. If you know of a great speaker who’s not on the list (we’re currently looking for MVPs, MCTs, Technical Authors or anyone with a proven track-record of great presentations), or you are interested in speaking at User Group events yourself, let me know.
