The talks, typically, last between 30 mins and 1 hour. Their main audience usually consists of IT user groups, for example:

• BCS branches
• Trade Associations and Exhibitions
• Chambers of Commerce
• E-Commerce and New Media networking groups
• Institutes of Directors
• Linux and UNIX user groupS
• Economic Development Bodies
• Educational Bodies
• Client groups of hardware and software distributors

As a rule, we ask those who can afford it to pay commercial rates, or at least reasonable expenses, for these talks. Where possible, we try to cross-subsidise `good causes' by tying the talk in with visits to fee-paying customers in the vicinity.
