Improvised PPT Karaoke | Kelly Tutors x SURF Incubator x Sound Startups
Get up on stage. 🕺
Five topics. Five decks. Five people who've never seen the slides until they're standing in front of them, presenting. 😂That's the whole event! Improvised speeches, live, in front of everyone. 😁
This is a mix of networking, comedy, and flat-out practice of confidence. Thinking on your feet as the presenter, and enjoy the show (and learn) as the audience. Watch PowerPoint presentation skills that these presenters didn't even know they had.
Whether you're someone who lives for the spotlight or someone who breaks into a sweat just thinking about it, THIS IS FOR YOU!!
3:00–3:30 — Arrival, sign-ups, quick intro on the mindset
3:30–4:00 — Five improvised speeches, five topics, five slides each
4:00–4:30 — Closing networking
Open to women in tech and the people who support them — allies, mentors, and community members welcome.
