Get Heard in 2020! Tech Talk Topic and Speaker Bio Workshop

Details

You spoke, we listened! In our member survey, you told us you needed help making your tech talk dreams a reality in 2020.

We had this all planned out before COVID hit. Then all in-person events were cancelled. We've now restructured it to bring it to you online via Zoom!

“Get Heard In 2020” is a series of workshops, inspired by Global Diversity Call For Proposals Day (GDCFP Day) (https://www.globaldiversitycfpday.com/), designed to give you everything you need to generate ideas, create your bio, talk title and abstract and, finally, practice your talk in a supportive, brave space!

This series is for you if you’re telling yourself any of the following:

  • There are no new ideas.
  • Nobody wants to hear what I have to say.
  • I’m too inexperienced.
  • I’m not technical so I can’t give a tech talk.
  • I haven’t done or learnt anything interesting.
  • I can’t think of anything to put in my bio.

What you'll need:

  • A Zoom account: https://zoom.us/signup.
  • Access to the Ladies Of Code London Slack workspace (e-mail us at ladiesofcode.ldn@gmail.com when you RSVP for this event).
  • Switch on your Meetup.com emails - see below.
