Panels aren't fun. Conference talks usually suck for many reasons, but they mostly suck because no one is learning anything and everyone is just staring blankly at the talker. It doesn't have to be this way... it doesn't have to hurt. You’re about to give a talk - a talk that really should be awesome. Come hang out and get your hands dirty with making conference talks that are actually awesome. This talk won't hurt at all - all you have to do is teach, don't talk.</p> <p><strong>In person:</strong> Thursday, June 18, 6:00 PM at Phase2, 514 NW 11th Avenue, Suite 203, Portland, OR</p> <p><strong>Online:</strong> We'll be livestreaming the workshop as well. <a href="https://plus.google.com/events/ce7pkddvafllhk9rhq8k223k3bs">Join us through Google Hangouts at 6:00 PM</a></p> <p><strong>Takeaways:</strong></p> <ul> <li>get concrete tools to set up your presentations to be as awesome as possible</li> <li>learn how to be yourself while talking</li> <li>learn how to create talks that people remember</li> </ul> <p><strong>Kristen Gallagher</strong> is the founder of <strong>Edify</strong>, a consultancy that designs and builds learning experiences that people actually learn from and like.
