Great article! Thanks for the wonderful insights. This has definitely motivated me to share my ideas at conferences!

Go for it Koushik Murali! It's a good thing to experience. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Thanks for writing this up, Karol! 🙌 I'd like to try myself at public speaking and conferences.

Where should I start? I guess talking to a 300+ audience first would be intimidating.

Any tips or "good first conference"?

Go for it! I'd start at a local tech meetup. These are usually smaller and easier to get into. Just search e.g JS meetup [City]. Otherwise, tell me where are you based, maybe I can suggest some events. International is unlikely to accept without previous experience (still happens though!), unless it's a much smaller one that is looking for any international speaker to look fancier 😅

Thanks Karol Horosin! I'm near Szeged, Hungary. I searched websites like confs.tech but only found bigger conferences, where, as you said, it's unlikely that I will be accepted. I couldn't even think of a topic that would be at the conference level, but I guess this is another problem.

Well, doesn't seem like I have a lot of options Karol Horosin in my area. 😃 Any ideas on getting started? Both geographically and topic-wise.
