Then, pick a meeting you can come to, and make your intent to present _at that meeting_ known. No need to convince anyone, or justify it. Nobody will argue (really!)*. We can even handle multiple presentations!<br><br>The meetings, if we know where they're going to be, will be posted at <a href="http://www.trizpug.org/">http://www.trizpug.org/</a>, as are the usual meeting locales and meeting frequency..<br><br>to quote said site:<br><br>"""<br>TriZPUG meetings <<a href="http://trizpug.org/meetings">http://trizpug.org/meetings</a>> are either at Duke, UNC or Carrboro Creative Coworking, or NCSU depending on what we feel like in any given month, usually on the fourth Thursday with a special holiday meeting in early December. We could probably meet at your place if you feel like having us over. We'll even bring the chips and dip. See the Calendar portlet to the right of this paragraph or our Meetings <<a href="http://trizpug.org/meetings/">http://trizpug.org/meetings/</a>> page for meeting announcements.<br>"""<br><br>If nobody's scheduled one or figured out where it'll be hosted, offer to host! We are not shy about meeting at your house if you don't have a conference room you can get to after hours ;) (I'm only partially kidding)<br><br>JJ<br><br>* I haven't seen anyone try, but you might get some backlash if you try to give a talk about something way off-topic, like your personal private feelings about the way jello wiggles. But seriously, people will probably not argue that. I know I wouldn't ;)<br><div><br></div><div>p.s.</div><div>I tried to send this twice from home and it never went through *crossed fingers* I apologize if this ends up being a tripple posting :P</div></div></body></html>
