Presentations

I usually give 2-3 keynotes a year and a few other presentations. I used to give a lot more but I have managed to cut them down dramatically by asking for travelling expenses. This has thinned it down considerably.

Like all presenters, I shamelessly repeat the same presentation with a title change and a few small mods, so if you don't find the one you are looking for here, try one with a similar title. Because there are so many, I'm intending only to keep the last few years but if there is one you are looking for in particular, please contact me. Note that the downloadable PDF files are anywhere between 300Kb and about 1500Kb and some of them have suffered a bit in the long trek from ancient versions of Powerpoint to PDF format.
