Good talk covering the important points. It seemed like there was more content planned, but Stefan ran out of time.
Conference Speaking 101
Stefan Koopmanschap (08.Oct.2011 at 11:05)
Talk at PHP North West 2011 (English - UK)
At PHPNW and other (PHP) conferences, there's always a full schedule of speakers. Some are from the area, others are international speakers. But how did these speakers come to be speaking at a conference? And why? If you are interested in becoming a speaker and sharing your knowledge, and you want to know how to get there or what to expect, this is your talk! In 15 minutes I'll tell you my personal story on how I became an international conference speaker and how I've experienced this.

Interesting talk - certainly gave some pointers which would help in the future

Time was the limiting factor here... perhaps over a half-hour, it would have felt more useful, but it felt as though Stefan was too rushed in making his points without any opportunity to expand on them.

Thanks Stephan, based on this I altered my presentation to remove a lot of the text and replace them with "placeholder" images. Shame about the time as I would have loved to have heard the rest.

Stefan knows his stuff.
I've been considering doing a talk at a conference and Stefan's talk made me not only realise I had no idea how hard what these guys do actually is, but also that I definitely want to do it.

Loved Stefan's talk. all really good points. I only wished it had been videoed so we can get more people on the scene. I hope this infuses more people to give talks at phpnw user groups.
Stefan.. have you given this talk in english when its been videoed?

Good talk Stefan, it really made me want to spend some time with you in the evening to chat about talking in general, the lightning talk just whetted my appetite, I would loved to have seen more.

Can't say i'm planning on doing any talks anytime soon, but this was a great talk just for the insight gained from a guy who is obviously very good at doing just this.

Stefan made great use of his extensive experience and gave some excellent advice which new and experienced speakers alike would do well to listen to. The talk lacked a storyline however, and didn't seem to be sized correctly for the length of the slot. I'd say content: 5, but delivery not at the same standard.

Good talk. If I had heard it a couple of years ago I would have had to learn by making mistakes! :-)
