Ministry of Testing Leeds - Jan 2020 - Start Speaking Workshop

Guess whos back, back again! Yes it's us with the start of our vision for 2020 (groan)! Ok, that's it for puns, promise. Our first meeting is a speaking workshop. Whether you want to go to conferences to speak or just improve in meetings and sprint reviews or any other reason, we want to help you.

We will have a few lightning talks on top speaking tips. Breakout groups to discuss ideas. In May we are having an evening of lightning talks and we would like as many new voices to participate as possible so please come and start your journey with us. Not from testing or tech? That's fine, the principles are fairly universal so no matter what you want to talk about we can help.

6.00pm - 6.30pm: Networking and food

From 6.30pm: Introduction then breakout groups

7.15pm - 7.30pm: Break

7.30pm: More breakout groups then wrap up

Introduction

Description
We will start with a few top tips, examples and ideas for public speaking and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions. We are very fortunate that the organisers have a lot of speaking experience from internal presentations to international conferences. This is your opportunity to learn from them and start your own journey. Already have an idea? There will be an opportunity to discuss it and get feedback.

Breakout groups:
There will be different topics in each group with tips, ideas generation, creating your bio and more.

Ministry of Test Leeds is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all attendees. To discuss any additional accessibility requirements you may have, please contact office-leeds@inifinityworks.com.
