If you have something to share, or a passion for a digital topic, you can become a presenter for a one off session or a regular series of presentations. You don’t need any qualifications. We will guide you through the preparation process if you need it. We don’t expect perfection!
There are no costs or payment for being a presenter – just the love and appreciation of our members.
