Do you organize talks or seminars in Cambridge? Do you maintain a webpage that lists upcoming talks, seminars, or journal clubs? Then talks.cam is for you.

At talks.cam, you can create your own lists; you, the other managers of your series, and the speakers themselves can enter the content into the list database at talks.cam; and talks.cam automatically serves up live, up-to-date content into your webpages – not only your webpages, but into lots of other people’s webpages too, because your list content will now be automatically advertised to everyone who is interested. (Other people can include your list in their lists.) talks.cam integrates seamlessly into your existing websites. If you would like to have a lecture series website created for you by talks.cam, we can do that too.

If this isn’t enough to convince you that you should switch over your seminar list management to talks.cam, here are some additional features:

1. talks.cam will automate the task of communicating with the speaker, asking for his/her title and abstract, and ensuring that all websites are immediately updated when that information is provided.
2. talks.cam provides personalized browsing and searching of the University-wide database.
3. talks.cam will also handle the task of sending email announcements of talks to people who want to receive emails.

• Getting started
• Adding a talk
• Syndicating talks (that is, getting up-to-date content automatically included in web-pages)
• Including lists inside other lists
