If you are interested in doing this cruise – and presenting – please register your interest – alan@unlockthepast.com.au
We offer significant support to a small number of key speakers, but we generally reserve about 20 to 30% of speaking spots for those who come on the cruise as fully paid cruisers—if they have recognised expertise and presentation skills. Most will only do one or perhaps two talks, but these often add great variety and value to the program, often dealing with subjects that would not normally be part of a conference program.
Unless the topic is of wide appeal, payment is not normally made for these talks, but we do offer payment for talks of good general interest that offer variety to our program. In some cases we can go further.
