A Few Practical Details

Click Check Availability within any talk for a short, no-obligation inquiry form. From there we work out dates, format, and fees, which are always society-friendly and scaled to the needs of your group. I speak from Victoria, British Columbia, on Pacific time. I present to groups across North America and beyond, both virtually and in person.

Most talks can be recorded for members who miss the live event. You are welcome to host on your own Zoom or webinar platform, or I can provide one if that's easier.

Each talk page notes what, if anything, attendees need to bring.
