Happy new year to you, Reader.<\/p>\n

In the long dark days of the Scottish winter when its tempting to hibernate it’s always nice to have a few things lined up to look forward to in the ‘Spring’. Here are some of the dates I already have in my diary. These are events and conferences at which I’ll be giving presentations or keynotes about a range of topics.<\/p>\n

Over the the last few years I have\u00a0 cut down on my international travel for work, but still very much enjoyed the range of events at which I get invited to speak.<\/p>\n

If any of these topics interest you, it would be great to see you there.<\/p>\n
