6PM - 7PM: Social Hour
7PM - 8PM: Idol
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested in trying your hand at tech speaking but not sure where to start? Speaker Idol is a low-pressure, high-encouragement event designed to help new speakers get started and grow.
This is not just for .NET topics. You can talk about anything tech-related — a cool tool, a hard lesson, a weird bug, or anything else you're passionate about.
Event Format:

• 5-to-10-minute talks
• Slides are optional
• Topics should be technical or relevant to the developer community
• A panel of experienced speakers will offer friendly, constructive feedback
• The audience will vote to pick a winner

Prize for the best beginner speaker: (We are still figuring out the prize)
This is a great way to dip your toe into public speaking, test out a lightning talk idea, or just get more comfortable talking in front of a crowd. If you're interested in speaking, RSVP and leave a comment. Or just come support the new voices in our community.
