[committee] Potential speaking engagement

[Felix von Perger]

Hi Sam,

Thanks for getting in touch.

It would be absolutely fantastic if you were able to present a talk, and 
UCC will be very happy to help organise whatever scale of event you had 
in mind.

We have been hoping to host a series of tech talks and workshops on 
various topics during next semester (March to June 2019) but at this 
stage we haven't discussed any details. We will make sure to keep you in 
the loop regarding planning these events.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Felix von Perger [FVP]
UCC President
