Interested in giving a talk?
Hey fellow makers!
A few weeks ago I decided to start yet another project 😅 As opposed to my other projects, I wanted to build and ship something fast and I had a nice idea for it.
I really enjoy watching talks, no matter if it's a TED talk about productivity, or a technical talk from a big conference. And I've also wanted to give a talk someday but I don't see myself in a conference stage (or at least not yet…). So I thought I could build something around that idea.
A site where people can share and find talks that may not fit into a big conference. Focused on quick talks of around 30mins and for small audiences. A few weeks later than I expected I have a first version live: quicktalks.io
I've scheduled the first talk in which I'll explain the tech stack I used and why, a few tips for building an MVP fast and some mistakes I made so you don't make them 😅 . If you're interested, you can register to attend here
And if you have an idea for a talk, don't be shy a schedule one! Try QuickTalks and let me know how it goes.
See you around! ✌️
Great Idea! Can be really useful for new speakers or people who want to become a speaker. This can also act as portfolio for speakers.
I can see using this in future. Awesome Job!
Hey @zicsus, thanks for the feedback! I'd be awesome to have you sharing some tips or talking about your products. Let me know if you're interested 🙂
I like this micro-talks idea. Sometimes conf talks are just so long and hard to get through. 30min is brief and to the point, something that people can fit in during lunch or on their commute. Kind of like a Substack or newsletter, but video! Interesting to see how it will be received!
Like the idea and the concept! I think can be really good for more “techie” ppl who would like to work they public speaking skills, as well as promote their concepts, vision, ideas and personal brands.
Any guidelines or template suggestions for the talk?
Glad you liked it @tiagomvalente
Not sure when you checked it out but yesterday I changed the copy to focus on makers and anyone building products.
Regarding guidelines for the talks, it's up to the speaker but the idea is that the talks would be between 20-30mins. For the one that I'll do next week I plan to explain how I came up with the idea, which tech stack I chose and why, some tips and at the end some Q&A.
