Lesson 2: The importance of locking the door.

My rate for MF's CUK Extravaganza is going up by the second.

Have a look at the Event Management portal, that'll give you a few ideas...

You might want to think about sponsorship <looks up >, and get doers involved.

DA might even like to join in the fun..

Yes I was going to ring him about this and something else.

Doddle. So just remains to see if there are any interested parties on here!

BTW. I have posted it in General, which may be a mistake, I'm better to put in Light Relief!

Business/Contract may be better...

Event Management needs:
Logistics - room booking, equipment booking, which is dependant on...
Administration - launch event, take bookings, administer costs and charges.
Content - plan the day, arrange speakers, etc...

Apart from that, not much to do...

And, of course, the main thing is that it must not make a loss.. I don't care if it can be offset against tax...

CUK Training Camp

Do the panel believe that there would be any benefit in a CUK Training Camp/Seminar?

Well what does that mean?

Well, hiring a venue for a few days every now and then, and then having certain expert members (or trainers) take other CUK'ers through overviews/training etc.

Now, it aint going to free! and for those doing the training they should expect a day rate. But if organized properly, then in theory is should work out cost effectively.

So for example, my background is BI/Data Warehousing. My skills are Business Objects, Cognos, Crystal, OBI EE, SQL Server SSIS, SSRS, VB, SQL, Excel VBA. For example I have given paid training courses on SQL, Excel and VB. So mine are technical.

Or for example an overview for BA's or UML - etc etc.

Just a thought. It would take some effort & planning to organize and it would depend on whether the site has members with the skills/time?
