Speaking at conferences is fun and a great way to build confidence. It can only help that Geekend is local and run by cool local people. Still not convinced? Why not? Think you’re not smart or good enough to speak at a conference? Well, I’ve spoken at conferences all over the world, and I’m not any smarter or better than the people in the audiences where I’ve spoken. I’m just willing to get up in front of them and share what I know (or what I think I know). It’s not hard, really. It’s not even that scary once you’re up there.

So, submit your proposal today, and let’s see some more local talent on the schedule!!

(and don’t forget – July’s Refresh is 7/20 at 7PM at Thincspace – and we’ve only heard one “Yay for bowling shirts” comment, so if you’re interested in a Refresh bowling shirt, please let me know or post a comment!)
