Interesting in speaking?

We're looking for speakers at future events, whether it's 20-30mins or a 5 minute lightning talk. You don't need to be an expert or an experienced speaker, just enthusiasm for something that interests you. If you fancy it, please get in touch with me on rory@fitzpatrick.fm or grab me on the night.
