Elevator Pitch

Tips, tricks, and pitfalls to deliver a tech talk quickly – and why I enjoy doing it that way.

Description

I once, to my colleague’s chagrin, thought through a tech talk during a drive, wrote slides in an hour, and gave a presentation that was well received and lasted exactly as long as it was scheduled. After doing this a few times (for better and worse), I’ve picked up some tips along the way on how to deliver a talk no matter how rushed or pressured you may feel. We’ll discuss some of my tips, as well as how to know when you’re in over your head & adjust.
