Public Speaking for Designers, Online Edition

Whether speaking at a conference or presenting your work in a team meeting, public speaking is a critical skill for designers. And now, more than ever before, we need to be able to present online.

Feel intimidated? You’re not alone. Join Women Talk Design for a workshop to learn tools and techniques to set you up for success next time you need to present remotely.

How should you prepare? How can you keep your audience engaged? What happens if something goes wrong? We’ll answer these questions and more. Come with your questions and be prepared to participate.

Women Talk Design is an organization on a mission to see more diverse speakers on stage. In partnership with IxDA NYC, this event is open to everyone.

You’ll leave this workshop with:

  • A framework for crafting engaging presentations — both in-person and online

  • Tips for preparing before you present

  • Tools to help you calm your nerves before you speak

  • Techniques you can implement to project confidence while on camera

You’ll receive a Zoom link to access the event once you’ve completed your registration.
