The London Events Committee are looking for speakers to present at their monthly events in 2012. The committee seeks to strike a balance of contributions representing sectors, practitioners, consultants, roles and new developments. Speakers, of course, need to be accomplished in terms of the subject they wish to address and in their ability to communicate and manage a presentation. We can promise you a receptive audience and we encourage a participative style to the event. If you are interested please complete the attached Call for Speakers form and return to service@pmi.org.uk and a member of the committee will be in touch to discuss opportunities shortly.
