We're always looking for speakers on generally geeky subjects - if you're able to talk for 20 minutes or so in ftont of a friendly and welcoming audience then get in touch.

We spent some time during January's Reading Geek Night thinking about the sort of talks that we would like to line up during the year. I promised to publish them all, so here they are. Feel free to add more ideas in the comments section.

So the ideas are (unedited & in no particular order)....

• Pyrotechnics
• Quake Mapping
• Follow on from South Hill Park talk last year
• 3D printing
• Medicine
• Music & technology

If you want to tackle one of these topics (or any other that you want to) then the process is... send me an email (jim at readinggeeknight.com) with a title; a 2/3 sentence description of the talk; & brief bio - I'll then be in contact and we'll take it from there.

I said that I would be happy to contact people and try and arrange talks as well - so if you can think of anyone who would be a good speaker to have, then let me know and I'll do my best to persuade them to come along.
