So You Want to Be a WordCamp Speaker:<\/h2>\n

A practical workshop for beginners<\/h3>\n

\"So<\/a>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?<\/p>\n

During this hands-on session we\u2019ll look at what\u2019s stopped you from speaking in the past \u2013 and explore how to move past your fears. We\u2019ll\u00a0delve into practical techniques for choosing a topic, writing a proposal, crafting presentation content, and making great slides.<\/p>\n


\nWe\u2019ll discuss how to avoid common public-speaking mistakes and techniques for battling stage fright. We\u2019ll help you navigate the\u00a0dreaded post-presentation Q&A session and gather post-talk feedback. Each participant will come out of the workshop with a WordCamp or\u00a0meetup talk proposal \u2013 and more confidence to submit it. Check out http:\/\/getspeak.in<\/a> for a sneak peek.<\/p>\n

This workshop will be given in English.<\/p>\n

This event is free and open to all, but an RSVP is required as space is limited.<\/p>\n
