I might be interested in speaking, depends on dates and if the user
group pays expenses :) I am supposedly cutting back on doing
presentations.
Meanwhile, NYOUG doesn't pay expenses, but unlike most other user
groups I've been to, we have a significant number of speakers. Most
others have 2-3 speakers for the day and we have 11 speakers each
meeting. We are changing this for our September meeting and going
forward, we will continue to have a keynote but will have 4
presentation time slots rather than 5, giving speakers a few more
minutes for questions, and to allow the next speaker to set up while
the prior speaker is still answering questions.
As to how I get speakers... we post a call for papers on our website
and I've gotten some excellent speakers that way. I go to conferences
and buttonhole people there who are good speakers. NYOUG has an
excellent member base and they on occasion ask to present. I beg and
plead and grovel before my friends as well :) The other members of the
board also beat up (er, persuade) people they meet to get in touch with
me for possible presentations.
