Christmas Micro-Talks and Mega-Bash
Monday, December 9, 2013 at 03:45PM 
We’ve got big plans for the Christmas Bash this year.
We thought it might be fun to do something more than just eat pizza, drink cola and play video games. So we have having some Micro-Talks. Then we are going to eat pizza, drink cola and play video games.
If you have done something shiny recently, contributed to a cool project, met someone influential or found a really neat thing everyone should know about then come and tell us all about it. Each speaker will be allowed 5 minutes, and a maximum of 4 PowerPoint slides, to talk about something or other. After this people can ask questions. The idea is to keep things short, sweet and interesting!
Struggling to think of something to talk about? Why not talk about:
- An open source project you helped
- A cool programming language or paradigm you’ve discovered
- A game you’ve made
- Anything tech related!
If you’re interested in speaking then please fill out this form telling us your subject:

The fun begins on Tuesday 17th December at 5:15 in Robert Blackburn Lecture Theatre C (RB-LTC). Thanks to Danny Brown for setting the talks up and getting hold of the bumper haul of swag we are giving away as prizes.
Once the talking is over, the pizza will arrive at around 6:30 and we can eat and head off to play games. We will have all the attractions on the poster above and of course the mega-wordsearch with big prizes that are big.
Tickets go on sale at 2:00 pm on Wednesday 11th December in the Departmental Office.
