Speaking Out: A workshop for public speaking in tech
Presented by Richard Warburton and Martijn Verburg (aka "The Diabolical Developer")
Public speaking is a great opportunity for people to raise their professional profile and employment opportunities. Unfortunately its also regularly identified as the activity which people fear the most. Its ok - we're here to help! If you've thought about giving talks at your workplace, local user group or even international developer conferences but just need a little support to get started then you should come along to this event.
We're aiming to cover the basics of public speaking and help anyone looking to improve their public speaking. We're going to:
-
Cover the essentials to delivering a good talk
-
Help people get into the swing of standing up and speaking
-
Answer any questions people may have on speaking.
