💌 What I am available for

🎁 Subjects I’m interested in

🤗 What’s important for me

I know that it’s hard to organize events and have everything planned and in mind. In general, I try to gain my own view and opinion about people and events. But nevertheless, as an active part of the community I believe that events should support the people and community and fulfill the following points:

:x: I don’t speak at events that are known for treating the community, speakers as well as attendees disrespectfully.
:x: I expect the conference to have an enforced code of conduct.
:x: The event should have at least minimal support for the community. As a community enthusiast and active contributor, I welcome the support of the community and will actively share the event wherever I’m active.
:x: I don’t “pay to play”. As a presenter, the minimum I expect is travel expense and hotel as well as full access to the event.

💃 My deliveries at your event

Here’s what I will do when invited as a presenter at your event.

Deliver a fitting talk/workshop for the intended audience. I tend to deliver a unique talk whenever I can and it will be an up-to-date talk.
Deliver the talk/workshop on time and sticking to the defined format and duration. I need to know what time frame you expect and what format you want it to be in. I will show up at the times you need me to be there and set up on stage with enough time for AV people to wire up microphones and other equipment.
Be available for conference attendees. Conferences are more about the people than about the content to me. Therefore I will try to be there for questions and feedback.
Be available for other promotional parts of the event. I am happy to do interviews or give you feedback to use in conference wrap-ups
Promote my presence at your event. I will tweet before, during and after the event about what I will do at your event and interesting things I encounter.
Publish my slides after my talk. After the conference, I will share the slides via a public link. All the slides will have the conferences logo/brand included.

💻 My setup

I am pretty open to different ways of presenting, but here is my perfect setup:

I like to use my own computers as I have them set up the way I need and there may be coding examples.
I use a Windows Laptop with Mini Display Ports, HDMI, NO LAN Wifi only. I also carry several dongles to connect from VGA to HDMI or Lan to USB.
I mostly need a connection to the internet.

If I need to use a central computer instead of mine, please consider the following:

My slides are on Google Slides in 16:9 format. I will send them 1 – 2 days before the conference and also have them on a memory stick.
In general, I rarely use videos or audios in my slides but for some GIF animations. If this is the case I will send these files also front off for a treat.
I don’t need notes, but I want to have a remote clicker and a “nanny screen” where I can see my slides instead of having to refer to the screen behind me.

🙏 My expectations

I am a professional presenter and will do a lot to ensure that the event will be a success. As such, I appreciate the following things:

Deliver a professional stage setup. I bring my own laptop and connectors, but I expect at least a power plug, a microphone and a “nanny screen”.
Record and publish my talk. Recordings are a great advertisement for your conference. I welcome recordings and will also share them on social media.

💶 Cost and payments/expenses

If possible, I’d like you to cover my travel expenses and hotel. I don’t expect first class or business class flights, but I do expect to arrive a day before the event and leave the day after with lodging organized in between. I would like you to take care of bookings, but I can also book and pay for myself and get reimbursed.
I don’t expect to be paid for my presentations if your conference helps me in my work. However, if you pay others I expect the same.
I do expect to be paid for my workshops and training. This is what I make my living of. If you book me for a workshop and we did not agree on something else I expect to be paid for my workshop.

There are always options to haggle about these things. I’m a reasonable person and if you spend your time creating a great event where the money isn’t your main goal, we’ll find a way.

💥 Things can go wrong…

Even with the best intentions, there may be trouble and I might not be available for your event. You may also change your mind. If that happens, here’s what I want to happen.

When I can’t attend for some reason or another, I will make very much sure to find a replacement presenter to fill in for me. I have a vast network of speakers, trainers, and teachers who can help out.
When for some reason you decide to slash my speaking slot, I expect you to cover the incurred expenses for me. Often I book my own flights as I book other appointments around events and many of them aren’t refundable.
