About this event

You are reading this because you are considering speaking to the current cohort about a specific themes, much like a Brown Bag session. For the 2024 H1 Seeker Program, we request that talks be held Monday - Friday from 9am - 11am PST. You can sign up here. If you are volunteering with us for the first time, please complete this form before signing up.

Please note that we will communicate with you about your signed up interview day/time no later than one hour prior to the interview. If you sign up for an interview the previous day from your sign up, please kindly reach out to us directly for next steps.

With your help, we can give a new perspective on topics already covered in their curriculum to help cement the foundations, and more! Typically, on the call, you would answer any sent over questions and/or address the topic foundationally, with examples, and then open up the floor for Q&A. If you require that the cohort do work during the session, please consider sending along instructions to set up ahead of time so that they can maximize the learning and Q&A time on the call. We have suggested below some areas in which the current cohort would like further review.

Please select the ticket that aligns with the above date/role that you'd like to present on. You'll have 45 minutes to present, followed by 5-10 minutes of Q&A.
