This is a special edition of Fox Valley Drupal where we will be hosting a workshop in conjunction with [MidCamp](https://www.midcamp.org/).

* 6:30 p.m. — Social Time

* 7:00–8:45 p.m. — Speaker Workshop
* 8:45–9:00 p.m. — Wrap Up & Social Time

**Presentation: Speaker Workshop**
This workshop helps speakers from underrepresented groups prepare to speak at conferences. This will in turn help local meetups, Drupal Camps, and even DrupalCons develop a more diverse speaker roster. The workshop helps folks bust through their impostor syndrome and develop a topic, title, pitch, and outline.

The workshop covers:

* Impostor syndrome
* Finding a topic
* Better speaker tips
* Writing a great pitch
* Creating an outline
* Creating great slides
* Public speaking confidence

This workshop is a great fit for you if you’ve ever felt uncomfortable about speaking at events or wanted to present but found yourself thinking:

* “What would I talk about?”
* “I’m not an expert in anything.”
