This initiative and the workshop are suitable for people from any technology area. We are focused on the Microsoft Tech stack and that’s where you’ll get the best additional resources and opportunties from us but the skills are relevant to all technology speakers.
If you’re right at the start of your speaker journey, and have spoken at a small number of events but feel like you still don’t really know how to be successful, then this workshop is for you. We kindly ask that people with lots of public speaking experience don’t attend though, to allow space for those who will benefit the most.
If you are an experienced speaker, we welcome your support, though the workshop is not for you. We would absolutely love to have your tips, tricks or stories, and we have a call for content open on Sessionize running until 30th April 2023 https://sessionize.com/microsoft-new-speakers-community-day We do hope to run a version of the workshop at tech conferences in the future where experienced speakers will be welcome to join and support.
