About the event

Many people dream of stepping on stage in front of an audience and sharing a talk they've prepared. But how do you turn that dream into a reality? By the end of the evening you’ll have 50% of your talk prepared and the confidence in yourself to deliver it.

Triangirls and JAM will be taking you through the steps on creating your first talk. From choosing a topic, creating a structure and figuring out what content will keep your audience engaged. Our event is both top tips from us, as well was workshop tasks to help you get started.

So please join us for an evening of great insights and tips on creating a talk. It would be great if you had a rough idea of a topic for your talk.
