It is always a special time of the year to attend Podcamp Toronto in February especially when we have spring time weather.
I had submitted a talk to share online in early January at Podcamp and it wasn't selected when the event launched on the 22nd.
I have had great experience attending the event since 2012 learning from all the speakers sharing.
This is a special conference where you have the option to come and go from the various talks. An un-conference of sorts.
The day progressed and took in the first few speaker and then noticed there was an option for two open rooms at 12:00pm and submitted my talk that I had shared few weeks earlier.
I got to the room and there 10 people waiting for me! I was excited and little nervous!
I shared information with no powerpoint just freestyle speaking. Spoke for about 25 minutes and then had a Q & A with the audiences.
At around 1:00pm I get an email from Podcamp organizer Lily asking if I want to speak again at 4:00pm I responded "Yes!"
So at 4:00pm I shared the topic again to about 15 people and this time I did a video and audio recording and answered Q & A at the end
Moral of the story: 2 talks in 1 day is great experience as my mentor always said "Prepardness meets Opportunity"
Video coming soon.
