  4. Organize advertisement of talks.

  5. Correspond with speaker to answer questions.

  6. Send thank you email to presenter.

Tech Talk Schedule

Timeframe

Determine what days to have tech talks on. Make sure you look at the Mines Academic Calendar to prevent scheduling conflicts with school breaks. Determine the dates for both Fall and Spring.

Work with the Chair and other officers to coordinate when the first tech talk should be. See the retrospectives from previous years for how we’ve scheduled tech talks in the past.

  1. Compile a list of companies to invite. See the retrospectives for who we invited in past years.
