So You Want to Be a WordCamp Speaker:
A practical workshop for beginners
Have you considered presenting at a WordCamp but thought you didn’t know enough or felt like an imposter? Does the idea of speaking in front of a group set your knees quivering and your heart racing?
During this hands-on session we’ll look at what’s stopped you from speaking in the past – and explore how to move past your fears. We’ll delve into practical techniques for choosing a topic, writing a proposal, crafting presentation content, and making great slides.
We’ll discuss how to avoid common public-speaking mistakes and techniques for battling stage fright. We’ll help you navigate the dreaded post-presentation Q&A session and gather post-talk feedback. Each participant will come out of the workshop with a WordCamp or meetup talk proposal – and more confidence to submit it. Check out http://getspeak.in for a sneak peek.
This workshop will be given in English.
This event is free and open to all, but an RSVP is required as space is limited.

Devenez conférencière ou conférencier WordCamp:
Un atelier pratico-pratique pour les débutants
Avez-vous déjà contemplé l’idée d’être conférencière ou conférencier à WordCamp, mais étiez convaincus d’être un imposteur ou de ne pas maitriser le sujet? Peut-être que l’idée de présenter devant un groupe vous angoisse?
Durant cet atelier pratique, nous examinerions ce qui vous a empêché de présenter – et nous explorerons comment surmonter ces obstacles. Vous apprendrez des astuces pratiques pour vous guider dans le choix d’un sujet, la rédaction d’une proposition, dans la préparation d’un contenu engageant et la création de diapositives mémorables.
Nous discuterons des gaffes les plus communes, comment les éviter et comment gérer son trac lors des présentations orales. Nous aborderons les éléments d’une bonne présentation tels que la période de question et la collecte de commentaires rétroactifs. À la fin de l’atelier, chaque participant aura préparé une proposition soit pour WordCamp, soit pour un meetup – et la confiance de la soumettre.
Parcourez le site http://getspeak.in/ pour un petit aperçu.
Cet atelier se déroulera en anglais.
L’événement est gratuit et ouvert à tous, mais une confirmation de présence est requise.
