WORKSHOP CONTENT

Learn to own your expertise and present yourself and your accomplishments with confidence. This workshop will help you think more expansively about your knowledge and experience, laying the foundation for you to convert your expertise into thought leadership and become a conference speaker, technical writer, and open source contributor.

Throughout the day you'll go through a number of exercises covering the theme, "Speak Your Truth". Through these exercises you'll generate a list of topics you can write or speak about, learn how to present yourself as an expert, and be introduced to contributing to open source projects.

Attendees will leave the workshop with a newly minted bio, a clear understanding of their own expertise, access to the larger Write/Speak/Code online community and either a blog post to publish, a talk to present, or an open pull request to an open source project.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Write/Speak/Code is on a mission to promote the visibility and leadership of technologists with marginalized genders through peer-led professional development.

Our community is open to and our content is designed for people whose gender or gender history is marginalized within tech. We define those gender groups as:

• Women technologists (trans, non-binary, and cis)
• Trans technologists (trans women, trans men, and trans non-binary)
• Non-binary technologists (GNC, gender-fluid, genderqueer, agender, etc)

We aim to equip people of these groups to overcome the internal and external effects of marginalization by identifying, expanding, and sharing their expertise to a supportive, engaged peer network.
