Lucerne, May 8 – EBU Connect (link to PDF program)
Amsterdam, May 19 – THE 124th AES CONVENTION
Amsterdam, May 29 – EMBRACING NEW MEDIA IN YOUR PUBLIC RELATIONS AND CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY

All of these presentations are stuff that I do as part of my job in the NRK. We do a certain amount of presentations like these due to the connections we get, the things we learn, the marketing value of telling people that we rock etc… 🙂
But I’m also doing a certain amount of paid presentations in addition to my work at the NRK. The main marketing point for these are the presentations themselves.
