From Attendee to Speaker: How to Speak at Local and International Conferences

Cloud Native Ilorin has been organizing community sessions to help people understand open source, cloud-native technologies, and opportunities for participation.

Our previous sessions focused on Hacktoberfest, meaningful open-source participation, community learning, and helping attendees understand how to get involved.

For November, we want to take the next step.

Many community members attend conferences, meetups, workshops, and technical events but have not yet considered speaking themselves.

Others have valuable experiences, projects, lessons, and knowledge to share but may not know how to identify speaking opportunities, write a conference proposal, or prepare a successful talk.

This session is designed to address that gap.

The objective is to help members move from being attendees and learners to becoming confident speakers who can share their experiences with local and international audiences.
