Description
Tech needs your voice! Often, we think that in order to speak at tech conferences, Meetups, or on podcasts, we need to be a veteran in the field, or a professional speaker. The truth is, everyone has valuable information to share, and everyone can find and pitch tech speaking engagements that are right for them! This is a series of workshops that show participants how to find, pitch, and successfully present their expertise at speaking engagements. This event is broken down into 4 biweekly workshops. March 31, Workshop 1: Why speaking is beneficial for career development, and how to find events to speak at. April 7, Workshop 2: Choosing a topic, and understanding your audience. April 21, Workshop 3: Creating a strong talk proposal that gets accepted! May 12, Workshop 4: Preparing a memorable, engaging presentation. Participants will work with facilitators to identify their own expertise, find speaking opportunities that resonate with them, create an actual talk proposal template, and learn tips for keeping your audience engaged throughout your talk. You may choose to attend all of these workshops, or just a couple! It's up to you, and we hope you will join us!
