Speaking at a conference can be terrifying. Really. At the same time, it is enormously fun and rewarding, even if you aren't an extrovert. But no matter how it might seem, let nobody tell you that conference speaking is just for "experts". Come with me as I pull back the curtain and share my experience as a speaker. We'll talk about everything from choosing a topic and writing an abstract to finding your voice with a room full of strangers staring at you. If you have ever thought about speaking, then immediately talked yourself out of it, this session is for you!
