UnPresenting in Melbourne with CU11 Keynote, Heather Gold

Connecting Up 2011's day 2 keynote speaker, Heather Gold will be staying in Australia a little longer after the conference is over. Part of her schedule will be to take part in Gathering 2011, but also run her popular UnPresenting Workshop. (Keep reading for a discount code for Connecting Up 2011 attendees).

UnPresenting Melbourne will be held on June 14, 2011. It will be a brilliant workshop about giving talks that are more fun, require less preparation and leave your audience feeling awesome. Here's the run down of what will surely be an amazing opportunity.

Comedian, keynote speaker and tummeling authority Heather Gold (Web 2.0, SXSW, Google) is teaching her unique interactive performance approach to a limited number of participants in a day or half-day, slide-free, hands-on workshop. Heather is a 15 year veteran of the web and has spent over 10 years creating a web-influenced form of live performance that involves and threads the “audience” and creates quick engagement in the room.

You’ll learn the conversational “mechanics” that let you create quick intimacy and avoid boredom. Go from talking AT or TO a large group of people to talking WITH them. You already know how to have a great conversation with one person. Learn how to read the room and transform your presentations into conversations.

You’ll prepare and lead a conversation with personal guidance from Heather.

NO bullet points. NO slides. Just the greatness in you and the “audience.”

As a special for Connecting Up 2011 attendees, you can use the code "C0nnect" when you book, you'll receive a 15% discount!
