While not a regular TED talker I have had a few opportunities to take up Speaking Engagements for Professionals, Universities and the odd ah hoc lecture.

University Centre Leeds – Hosted by Glynn Bolton – Jan 10th 2024.
It has been a busy week this week at University Centre Leeds with students returning from the festive break and the end of the first semester approaching, but I just wanted to say a big thank you to Eric Coetzee from Securly for his inspiring talk to our students the other day. It was good to catch up with Eric after so many years and his insight into the cyber security industry was invaluable.
