Notes For Speakers
This page contains guidance notes for prospective speakers at our public meetings. Our public meetings take place in an informal atmosphere. Speakers usually wear smart but casual clothes to give a relaxed feel to their presentations. Nonetheless, talks should be pitched at a level suitable for professionals. To appeal to a wide audience, we suggest that your talk is engaging and informative, but not overly technical. It is difficult to predict the size of an audience, but we typically get between 20 and 40 attendees at our events. Our meetings usually take place on a Wednesday evening in the Chichester 1 Lecture Theatre at the University of Sussex. Doors open at 7pm. See our directions page for a map and details of how to get there. The lecture theatre is the circular building in the middle of the map. Presentations normally start at 7:30pm. Experience shows that it is preferable to keep your talk to within an hour, and allow a few minutes at the end for a question-and-answer session. Where speakers are co-presenting talks, the duration of each talk should be reduced accordingly. We must vacate the premises by 9pm. A complimentary buffet is provided in the lobby of the lecture theatre from 7pm during which we greet everyone. This affords an opportunity to check the venue and its facilities, and prepare any equipment that you need. A PC-based overhead projector, PA system and dimmable lighting are available for your use in the lecture theatre. You can bring your own laptop or use the networked computer under the podium desk to connect to the overhead projector. There is restricted car parking outside the lecture theatre but, unless you have special needs or are carrying heavy equipment, it is just a short walk from any of the campus car parks. Parking is free on the campus after 6pm. We offer a payment of £50 to our speakers. For talks that are given by more than one speaker, this payment is to be shared between the co-presenters. |
