Women Talk Design Lightning Talks
Event Information
About this event
“Last night was transformative! I now have the public speaking bug and will be actively pursuing speaking opportunities.” - WTD Lightning Talks Speaker
“[I enjoyed] the upfront-ness that this is practice and we're all there to support. It made me feel like I could actually get up there and give a talk one day.” - WTD Lightning Talks Attendee

Women Talk Design is on a mission to see a more diverse group of speakers on stage. Our Speaker Lightning Talks event offers an opportunity for new and experienced speakers to practice a short talk in front of a safe, supportive audience.
One of the best ways to learn as a speaker is by watching other speakers practice their craft. We invite you to join the event as a supportive audience and pay attention to what our speakers do well. Our audience will meet one another (yay, Zoom breakout rooms), support our speakers, and provide feedback on the talks.
Join us for an evening of talks on a range of topics in design, tech, career, and life.
Speakers have been invited because they are delivering a talk for the first time, testing out new material, or looking for practice before presenting their talk in front of a larger audience.
