Speak at a tech conference
A four-day live course on public speaking
"6 years ago: I was terrified of public speaking. Today, I’m presenting my 120th session. I’ve never felt more grateful, or more free."

How I got on stage at tech conferences
As a teenager, I was the shyest kid in my whole class. Public speaking terrified me.
When I entered adulthood and started my career, I realized that learning to speak publicly was a critical skill. Whether it was presenting to my dev team, giving a product demo, or speaking at a local meetup, I needed to know how to give a talk.
I started doing small team presentations. Then, I moved on to giving product demos.
In 2011, I attended a Future of Web Apps conference in Miami and wondered: "Could I speak on stage at a tech conference like this?"
In 2015 I submitted an attendee talk for MicroConf in Las Vegas. My topic was picked, and I gave my 12-minute talk on stage at a tech conference!
The organizers liked it so much, they asked me to be the keynote speaker in Barcelona.
Since 2015, I’ve spoken every year at conferences like MicroConf, SumoCon, and Laracon.
I want to teach you everything I know about public speaking; from writing the talk, to getting a speaking slot, to delivering your talk on stage.
