Yes, you've read that correctly - this talk and this stage could've been yours. You're wondering how to make that happen? I'll take you to the wonderful world of "call for papers", "abstracts" and acceptance processes. You might have reasons why you think you're not up to this. But let's see whether those excuses are genuine or if we can eliminate them.

So, next year, see you on stage?!

I want to encourage people who have the ambition to share their stories on stage. As much as I care about that, I cannot attend your event only to deliver this short talk. I would be happy to deliver this talk in addition to one of my other submissions to your event.
