Speaking at EuroPython (or your favorite conference)? Yes, you can!

Ever wanted to be on the other side of a presentation (behind the microphone, instead of being in the audience)? Is there something you learned that you could share, but don't know how or how to get your idea accepted? Would you like to get out of your comfort zone and improve your career? Do you avoid public speaking due to stage fright?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you are in the right place! In this presentation, I'm gonna show why you (yes, YOU! The person reading this) not only should and CAN present at EuroPython (or anywhere you'd like).

I'll start with some background on how I started being a speaker, met EuroPython and how my presentations improved over the years. Will then tackle myths and facts about giving presentations and share lot's of Dos and Don'ts about CFP submissions (both based on personal submissions, and reviewing submissions from others). I'll also talk about what to expect before, during and after a talk or workshop, and most important: getting your hands dirty by crafting your own talk (5 min or 10 minute long) - details in the outline.

Tutorial is open to everyone, and after attending it participants will have greater insights to improve for their next (or first) conference talk, or what they should work on to get it accepted. Useful not only for conferences, but professional improvement at work.
