Workshop: Pitching Your Tech Talk

Josephmark

On Saturday 6th July 2019, Josephmark will be hosting a workshop to help you form and pitch your first tech or design talk.

Global Diversity CFP Day facilitate numerous workshops around the globe each year, encouraging and advising speakers from an array of disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to put together talk proposals with an edge. We missed our opportunity to participate this year, but what the hell – a belated workshop’s better than no workshop! Come and learn how to share your own individual perspective in a compelling way that is fit for a tech talk with mentoring, advice and QA from the crew at Josephmark (and a few of our industry mates).We'll have experienced speakers on hand to:<ul><li>give you a warm, inclusive welcome in a super safe space </li></ul><ul><li>mentor, troubleshoot and inspire you with your proposal, depending on where in the process you're at with yours – whether you’ve got all of your ducks in a row, or you’ve just got some curiosity and a good attitude!</li></ul><ul><li>provide advice on pitching, networking, storytelling, public speaking, presentation design, and all of the moving pieces that come together to form your talk</li></ul><ul><li>share your enthusiasm to get you to the stage, and point you in the right direction.</li></ul>Inclusive and diverse festivals, conferences and panel events are a centrepoint for learning and making connections in our industry, so we want to help you get your foot in the door when the opportunity comes up to pitch what you have to say – even if you haven’t quite figured that out yet. We'd heavily recommend this workshop to anyone from a disadvantaged background, minority group, or any other factor that may mean you've missed out on participating in an event in the past. Are you from a rural or isolated area? Are you dealing with ageism in the tech industry? This applies to you too. Our scope for diversity is wide (as it should be), and if you think this workshop’s right for you, we do too. Let's close this gap!Please note that we're keeping this workshop intimate with only 20 spots, so there's plenty of room for individual feedback. By signing up, you're also agreeing to abide by the Global Diversity Code of Conduct, and Josephmark's strict and self-explanatory 'no dickheads' policy.--About the hosts: <a href="http://www.josephmark.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Josephmark</a> is a venture design studio with over a decade of experience in designing, building and growing companies across a multitude of industries.
