ThinkTalks - acmumn/officer-resources GitHub Wiki

ACM ThinkTalks offer a variety of guest speakers in the academic, professional, and scientific worlds of computing machinery. Talks range from interactive lessons and lectures to mock interviews and company demos. ACM plans talks with students and guest speakers in mind. ThinkTalks are essential to students looking for networking, job, and research opportunities in computing machinery fields.

ThinkTalks allow representatives from companies to tell students about their products, their accomplishments, and their opportunities for students and graduates. ACM organizes space and advertises the talks, and companies cover the cost of food. It is important to get students to stay for the talk, not just grab pizza and leave.
