Rock Your Career: How 25 Years of Speaking Has Helped My Career and More! - With David McCarter (aka, dotNetDave)
=======================================================================

July 2019 marks my 25th year of speaking at conferences, user groups, companies that also includes teaching at a university for almost 20 years. My motivation was to help others coming up in the software engineering world and now as I reflect back, I can see how much speaking and teaching has dramatically helped my career and personal life. Speaking has even lead to being recognized by the Microsoft MVP program as an expert in my field.

In this session, I will discuss how I got started, how it led to writing books and training videos and how it lead to speaking in multiple countries. Along the way, I will share stories and discuss how you can get started speaking or improve your speaking skills.

This special anniversary session will feature guest speakers. I will have lots of swag to giveaway including software!
