I'm talking about Learning CSS Through Creating Art, Facial Recognition in JavaScript, and how to build a portfolio! I've been accepted at a couple so far, which is exciting, but I just started submitting for the spring a few weeks ago!
I have submitted to a bunch of places, and will continue to do so. I've found a lot of them through this, this, and then local groups for DC conferences!
Thanks for sharing that list. This discussion has made me think of applying for tech conferences. Any pointers for a first-time speaker? My only experience presenting has been at symposiums related to epidemiological modeling.
There are also a couple of CodeNewbie podcast episodes about conference speaking, which are awesome!
I would say to practice a bunch for people, make sure your slides and content are really good to go far beforehand, and then don't worry too much once you are up there! The audience wants you to succeed!
Workshops are kind of my bread and butter because I teach fulltime. I love having time for audience participation and coming up with activities!
Hmm, well it sounds like you've presented before so I'd apply the same techniques there as you would in a talk (eye contact, project your voice, speak slowly, add pauses, etc).
I always prefer tech talks with slides that have large and minimal text. Format-wise, I tend to follow this: tell the audience what you're going to tell them, tell it to them, remind them what you just told them.

Your posts rock. I'm certain the talks will be great.

This resource was given out at an event I was at last weekend! It has a bunch of awesome resources.
