SUMMARY:SQL Saturday South FL #627 "So you Think You can Speak" (Speaker competition)
DESCRIPTION:With SQL Saturday South Florida 2017 only several weeks away\, our call for speakers continues as many of the sharpest SQL minds around submit their topics and prepare to share their time and knowledge for free with the local SQL community. We hope you’re planning to join us for a great day of networking and free learning opportunities.\nIf you’ve ever enjoyed or admired the knowledge and know-how of a speaker at an event like this\, remember that they started where you are\, with an interest in SQL and I.T. topics\, a passion to learn more\, but also with the desire to share what they know with their peers.\nIf you have an interest in SQL or any of the Microsoft Data platform technologies\, and have learned something useful in your I.T. career\, consider giving back to the community by sharing what you know. While it may seem intimidating to give an hour long talk at an event like this\, remember that every great speaker had to start somewhere. And for you\, maybe that start is “Do You Think You can Speak”.\n“Do You Think You can Speak” is a friendly competition for anyone\, even first time speakers\, to share for 5 – 10 minutes on a technical topic\, SQL\, Business Intelligence\, Power BI\, or otherwise\, that is informative\, useful\, and entertaining. You can register by RSVP’ing to this event.\nYour presentation will be judged by a small community panel\, with a swag prize for everyone attending\, as well as a special prize for the best speaker\, judged on content\, presentation skills\, and audience engagement.\nThis is a great way to get experience presenting a technical topic to the community\, and a great way for the community to find and develop the next generation of speakers. So give it a try\, and see where it takes you!\nWe will provide you with Free coaching sessions\, where a member of our leadership team will review your abstracts\, provide feedback and help you get ready to present on Saturday June 10th.\nAll contestants will receive:\n1- Special Speaker’s shirt with the SQL Saturday logo\n2- Free coaching and support\n3- We will waive your lunch fee\n4- Expedite event registration\n5- Invitation to participate in the Speaker’s dinner reception the day before the event.\n6- Access to the Speaker’s lounge the day of the event.\n7- Certificate of participation\n8- Special recognition by our community and special mention in all of our Social media channels!
