You attend the best tech conferences year after year. You love the varied topics, catching up with friends, and indulging in great food and drinks. But something is still missing: the chance to shape your favorite events. Don't just sit in the audience - step up to the podium and start speaking!

Take it from someone who used to dread public speaking: it is actually a lot of fun! In this session, I'll share how I overcame stage fright to speak at technology conferences all over the country. We will break down every part of the process, including ideation, outlining, storytelling, writing compelling abstracts, slide design, delivery tips, and recommended tooling. Whether you are a first-time speaker looking to get started or an experienced presenter searching for a fresh perspective, this session will give you the tools to conquer the stage.
