We are always looking
for interesting presentations to deliver to our members. If
you would like to deliver your presentation to SPIN members.
You may download our Presentation
Guidelines, or you can read the following summary.
What the SPIN board needs from you before we schedule you to
deliver the presentation:
- A paragraph describing your experience in a field.
- Abstract of your presentation.
- A list of other presentations that you have done before.
- Preferred month to give your presentation.
Submit your presentation proposal via email to speakers@atlantaspin.org.
The SPIN board would then evaluate your submission along with
others that have been submitted and decide on its acceptance.
Each of our speakers receives framed thank you certificate
after delivery of their speech.
The following information might help you prepare the
presentation.
We usually get around 30 to 50 people, but we started to do
better announcements, and expect to have larger turnouts.
Our members frequently have diverse backgrounds. We have some
members from Level 4/5 CMMI companies, and some that are new
to software processes. Most of them attend our meetings or
review past presentations to learn of processes that they can
apply in their organizations. We archive presentation
slides on our website so visitors to our website can review
past presentations.
Most of our members are looking for practical things that
they can try in their organizations. They are interested in
activities that do work and some examples of activities that
don't. They want to be more competitive and knowledgeable
after your presentation.
You'll need to plan on coming 15 minutes before the meeting.
Speakers provide their own laptops (if necessary, we can
arrange to have a laptop provided) to drive PowerPoint
presentations. SPIN will provide a projector and microphone
(we ask all speakers to use a microphone to ensure people in
the back can hear).
SPIN will print slide handouts. The speaker needs to email
presentation slides in PowerPoint format to the SPIN board two
weeks in advance.
